I have had my Box turtle Fred for about 10 years. He gets crickets with vitamin powder once a week and various friuts and veggies in between. Yesterday he seemed slightly lathargic as far as eating. He rushed the food dish as usual but once there seemed to not have enough energy to eat. Being a healthy guy otherwise I put it off until today and made sure to check on it. Well today when I checked him his eyes were stuck shut. From what i have heard this can be a sign of vitamin deficiancy but knowing he gets regular vitamins I have grown a bit worried. Having him for 10 years I am really attached and am willing to do whatever it takes to cure whatever this is. I know of a couple vets to take him to but I would like a bit of perspective before I go into a vet and fall for anything they say. Having some experience with false vet info I like to prepare myself with questions and possibilities before hand. Any advice is good advice so please let me know.



sincerely,

lisa
