Hi and I would say there's a high chance it is the bark, depending on what kind of bark it is.....some can actually be quite toxic. I would get rid of it asap, it's not the ideal substrate for a tortoise...........a 50/50 mix of top soil/play sand is the best substrate for a hermann. When you say her eyes are 'weepy', is there a discharge? Are they swollen at all? Jo | |
