Not sure why he is not feeling well but I would suggest the following:



1. Raise the humidity by adding plenty of moistened Spagnum

Moss at one end of the enclosure. I use the Orchid Spanum

Moss that Home Depot Sells...it is a cleaner thicker moss

that holds humidity well.

2. Place a Human heating pad under your enclosure on low or

medium setting on that same end with the moss. Monitor

closely the heat level making sure the moss does not dry

out (so mist as needed)

3. Continue to soak the tortoise in warm water for 15 min.

a couple of times a day.

4. For the next few days feed him Romaine it flushes the tor-

toise out much better then collards or turnip greens do.



5. Of course if he continues downward get to a vet----



NOTE: I have helped many of mine by doing the following:



Flagyl (metronidazole) 150 mg/kg PO weekly (per Melissa

Kaplans Reptile Dosage page)



I have bought this in the past in the Pet Fish Medication

section and put the appropriate dosage indicated above

in a sweet potatoe-----Good Luck - Richard
