African spur thigh tortoise

Posted by Kandi on March 17, 1999 at 18:31:07:

HI! I have a few quick questions that I hope SOMEONE
out ther can answer..when I first got my african spur thigh
who is now only bout 8 months old he wasnt in
the best of health after I nursed him back to health he quickly gained a HUGGEEEE
appetite and was eating like crazzzzzzzZZYyyy..now
he barely eats much of anything and I havent changed
the cage or the temperatures at all ...also...when I
had originally brought him home he had bubbles that would
form on his eyes when he would open them..as soon as I got
him home that went away..but has now returned...also
he does a startled motion where he pulls his head
in really quickly almost like he is sneezing but
there is no discharge of any kind...I have never
owned a tortiose before this..and he wasnt healthy when I first
got him so its hard to tell when he is sick and
when he isnt...cuz I really dont kow how he acts and his real personality.
If you have ANY comments on all or even one of the things Ive listed PLEASE dont
hesitate to respond thanx much!!!
