Hi! Can I have an update with your tortoise please? My tortoise recently started walking the same way but also rocks side to side as he walks. I don’t have any idea what happened and how to help.

Mostly grass she grazes in the yard. I also give her Romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, and a mixture of tomatoes, cabbage, watermelon and strawberries. I also got her the reptile dried veggies and insects I give once a week or so.

Thank you! I hope to see improvement soon ?
