what would be the main reason for a Hermanns Tortoise not opening its eyes, its not my tort, its about a year old and has only had a uv for the last 2 months and was kept in an exo-terra 18 inch cube glass viv with a screen top, its now on a 3x2 foot tort table with a 18 inch uv tube and a heat mat,i know its supposed to have a basking light, and it did, because i put one on the table when i built it for them, but they took it off and used the mat. it also has no suppliments in its food, even though i gave them some to put in the food.
Tha man in the rep shop near me said it is most likely a calcium deficiancy from lack of uv and supps or could be hibernation, i dont think its hibernation because it was only one eye not opening at first, but now its both.
Help appreciated.
Thanks.
