Default Help!!!

I was just feeding my one year old indian star, went to slide the viv glass door closed and it fell in on him. It didnt fall flat on him as it landed on a plant. He went in his shell really tight. And didnt move for about 3 mins.He is now moving hid legs slightly and has popped his head out.

Do you think he will be ok?

I wouldn't trust anyone who just dropped at sheet of glass on me either

Poor little thing. I'm sure he's just a bit shocked and will soon be back to normal. x

He should be ok, but I would be worrying if the doors fall in easily in the vivarium.
