I found a little turtle near my house 2 days ago. His eyes were closed but he did move a bit. I took him to a herp vet who told me he is probabaly dehydrated and needs to drink. So i put him in a little warm water just 1/2 cm high that he can drink, and gave him hot bothes 3 times a day this way. He really havn't eaten a lot, just a few little bites. His mouth nose and ears was clean and dry. Now I think maybe his just hybernating, because it's winter out here and temp. is below average, 4-10 celcius degrees. Maybe he just have to be left a lone for a while and put him in temp of 29-30 celcius degrees? What do you think it's best to do?

I would warm this little guy up chances are he is not well enough to hibernate. You need to go get proper heat lights and UV lighting so he can process his food. Warm soaks help too. Greeks are not suppose to be cooler that 75 Degrees.
Good luck
