Hi, I have just offered to look after 2 baby (3yr) spur thighed tortoises that were sold to some1 who didnt know how to keep them, they have been kept in a rabbit hutch & havent eaten for a month, they were freezing & quite stiff, I have put them in my viv & warmed them up, they are lovely & warm now, but eyes are still closed, I have read about tissue damage. Im not expecting miracles & have only had them about 18 hours, but would like some advise on how the should be reacting & whats best for me to do to help them. I have a 4 yr old & a 3 yr old who are very healthty, so know Im doing right by them but could do with any tips to help these little babies. ive also given them a warm bath & washed their eyes, managed to get them to drink a little. Thanks
