hi Tom, is it normal for tortoise to pee everyday? he seem like to pees a lot now. and Vet give me some gentamicin sulfate for his nose last time and told me come back it he got worse.
hi Tom thank you for all the suggestions! I already asked a friend to help me build a bigger enclosure now and for UVB light can you give me a link where to buy it? also using a ceramic heating right now.
he weights about 530g and its a indoor enclosure, a plastic tubs about 25X17X8 that I got from lows. I don't turn off heat lamp at night so the temp is always around 90F. and for UV bulb I use zoo med 10.0 UVB mini compact fluorescent.
I just bought this as my tortoise substrate, can anyone check if it's ok to use. also I notice this is not complete dry, it has some moisture in it. is it normal? thank you.

I put the probe right under the heat lamp. I have another heat pad under the hide area which is always warm. for the heat pad I did not connect it to the temp controller. for humidity I'm going to change him into a bigger container then I will put a water blow in it.
I been closely observed him today and I do not see the buddies anymore and he is eating but sleeps a lot. and he did Pee again in clear liquid form. I never see him pee this often before. should I take him to a vet now or should I keep close look of him for couple more days? I used those temp...
thank you all for your fast reply! I keep the temps around 85-90F at all time. and yes I'm also using a UVB light. I will take him to a local vet as soon as I can. He is not active as before and lost his appetite a lot( he still eats but not as much as before). I soak him twice a month and I...
