So yesterday i gave him several warm baths and it seems like he cant walk and he hadnt eateb and he kinda has the shakes. He has drunk. Its as tho he tries to walk but his body cant it just shakes all 4 legs... And he looks like his trying to but he cant. I am going to book the exotic vet. But until my appointment has anyone seen anything like this before. Ive had tortoises alltortoises for 30 years but never seen anything like it.

Going to the vets is the best idea, as it could be anything.
Making sure he has heat on during the day, as when they come out of hibernation they need to warm up thoroughly, and a long soak in tepid water:0)
