Ben and his red eyes

Hi, i have two russian tortoises aged 2 years, we have noticed one has red eyes sometimes, not sure if its a inner eyelid or a sign of fear or sickness, but he does look quite evil? the other tortoise has never shown signs of this, we are quite worried and a little scared, please help, thanks Debbie.

Red Eyes
by: Shelly

Any eye problem in a tortoise can be fatal. If the animal can't see, it can't find food. Besides that, the problem itself could cause other internal problems.

Your pet needs to see a vet.

Keep it slow and steady.
