We brought home a hatchling cherryhead a few weeks ago. The poor thing will not open its eyes. Storeowner claims dehydration. I had soaked a few times a day and had tortoise on very damp sphagnum moss. Next, storeowner claimed sphagnum is deadly if injested. What could be the story with the eyes and what about sphagnum as a substrate?
