hi, i'm new here. hope can get some help abt my tortoises.

got 2 tortoises abt the same size when bought then. almost a yr alrdy, 1 is growing bigger but the other still almost same size. the smaller 1 is very active, walking here n there, the fat one is slping most the time. is it a problem?

today i saw the small one sneezing with big bubble on nose. is it flu? what shd i do?

both are still small tortoise, abt half a palm size. i fed them french beans most the time, sometime longbean, spinach & tortoise pellets pre-soak in water with calciumizer.

i was told they're star tortoise. so can anyone tell me exactly they "indian", "burmese",......???

thanks a lot to any helps/info....

Yeah it has a cold

Mine had a cold before and soon died after. I think you can try to keep it warm?

From your description, am I right to assume that you keep them together? Because I kept both my stars together and exactly the same thing happened. 1 grew but 1 did not. According to the vet, 1 gets all the good parts of the food and 1 does not. Leads to deficiency and weakness.

Anyway, sleeping all the time is a very very bad sign. I suggest you bring them to the vet as soon as possible.

The flu is a symptom of Running Nose. And your one that's sleeping all the time may have an internal infection. Is the shell soft? If it is, then your Torts are not absorbing the calcium you're giving them, and are taking it from their shell and bones. This weakens them considerably.

The diet you are giving them is not suitable. And you have to sun them. They cannot digest the calcium you give them if they do not get a chance to bask.

Anyway, please bring them to a vet ASAP. My tort that was sleeping all the time did not make it. If you want yours to make it quickly save them.

thanks for the replies.

actually, the big one looks ok. healthy n growing, likes to eat a lot and slp. some ppl told me tortoises slp a lot. is it true?

the small one is very active all the time. it eat n slp normally, so i thought is it possible because it's too active so it's not growing as fast as the lazy tortoise.

i kept them together in transparent box (meant for tortoise) big enough for 2 tortoises, leave them near balcony everyday so they can get morning sun everyday. their shells r ok, hard enough i think.

so any suggestion what shd i feed them? i always put more than enough food for them. actually, do they need water? the seller said they dun but i still put a little cup of water in the box just in case.

anyway, i'll bring the small one to vet later. hopefully it'll get well n dun infect the other one.

try to seperate them for now... its for the better. just to prevent the other one in getting the sickness and also to ensure the little fellow get the same food with the big fellow

Both yours are Indian/Sri lankan Geochelone elegans

wont they feel lonely after seperate them??they will miss each other dei got 4 indian star...all are almost equally the same size...lucky..hahaha
