I am not sure the cause. I just started to feed him cucumber and aloe along with his greens. Then I soaked him in a tub for one hour. Just glad that it helped.
I want to extend a thanks to those that responded to help me with my constipated tortoise. I followed all suggestion and my tortoise pooped today! Yay! Thanks again
My red footed tortoise seems constipated. I am reading about feeding him cucumber and aloe. Do I remove the skin from cucumber? Do I feed the aloe plant with skin attached or just squeeze out the aloe from the plant?
