The red-footed tortoise can suffer from a cold, lack of energy, loss of appetite, and even pneumonia. First heat up, the temperature in the box is stable at 28-30 degrees. For mild colds, you can use the method of warming up and taking a warm bath to help it heal on its own. If there is a lot of nasal discharge and poor breathing, you can add a capsule of amoxicillin to the water. Capsules or dispersible tablets for bathing.

In addition, if the red-legged tortoise eats and defecates normally! I don't recommend you to use amoxicillin, that medicine is not good for the internal organs of red-legged tortoises, and if you are inexperienced, it is difficult to grasp the amount. Once the amount is too much, the later disease will be more troublesome! It is recommended that you can rest at a constant temperature of 29-30 degrees first, and reduce the humidity a little! Also reduce the number of baths and bath time! Red-legged tortoises don't need to be soaked every day~ Also, be sure to dry the tortoises with a clean towel after taking a bath! Add trace multivitamins to your usual feedings!
