Help please !! RIP Lottie

I can't wake my wee Lottie up, he's in a warm bath and I've tried everything.
I am devastated, I don't know what to do and we've only just moved 6 weeks
ago. Could he have died? Can he be in a deep sleep?

I am heartbroken!

Keep giving him a warm bath have you tried putting him under his heat lamp? When was the last time you saw him awake?

Caroline McI · 18-10-2007, 10:55 AM

He's been under his lamp for a couple of hours, I brought him out his bed
to warm him up and feed him. He was asleep last night when I got back from work.
He was awake the night before. My mind is all over the place, sorry.

I am crying so much.

Is ne not moving at all? Touch his legs do they move?

Bride2b · 18-10-2007, 10:57 AM

Hey dont worry,

Its okay, try and give him a warm bath, does he respond when you stroke him?

It is very cold today my little torts arent moving much this morning either.
How old is he where did you get him from etc?

He's not moving at all, not responding to me touching his legs.

Nothing

Bride2b · 18-10-2007, 11:00 AM

Have you picked him up and tried to sstroke his head?

Caroline McI · 18-10-2007, 11:02 AM

His head is in his shell, he's not responding to anything

I lost a tort I few months back. The joints went very stiff extremely quickly. Can you pull his back leg and it moves with the expected resistance or is it as stiff as a brick? I hope he's ok. One of mine stayed out well we had a frost a couple of weeks back (I couldn't find him) he was the same but after running warm tap water over him after about five minutes he woke up and five minutes later he was fully awake.
