I got a forest hingeback two weeks ago from Petland. When I brought her home she was eating. I noticed the last couple of days she has not been eating. I went back to Petland and they told me to buy a 100 wt bulb and make sure the temp. in her tank is between 75-80 degrees. she is still not eating this was sat. please advise.Janet

hingeback not eating
by: Shelly

The lamp should help if your tortoise is not actually sick and if you are offering good food.

See http://www.totallytortoise.com/tortoise-food.html

If the lamp and food choices don't make a difference, see a vet right away.

There could be another problem that a vet can diagnose only by examining your pet.

Keep it slow and steady.
