since it’s just good bacteria I don’t see why it would be a problem. I did notice a tiny improvement in his stool this morning. So that makes me hopeful. Im brand new to tortoises and I just wanna make sure I’m doing the best I can for him. I’ve done a lot of research and watched a lot of...
I know and understand some people use snake bags to ship. My whole point was to just say that the diarrhea was so severe it covered the entire bag and a lot of newspaper inside. His packaging was poor in part because he made it himself. He tried to build his own styrofoam insert and it was all...
Thank you! I used to work with working K9s and dealt a lot with importing dogs. So I know how all of that can affect them. I wasn’t so sure how it would all affect a tortoise. I will definitely try the bene-bac! And since he came with the diarrhea... it was all over in the bag he came in... I...
Ok thank you! I’ve heard about them absorbing the yolk sac, but I guess I’ve never heard or seen anything about the scarring. He looked good other than that and the stool to me. That’s why I was asking if this really could be just due to stress? If what the guy is saying is true about the diet...
i was just saying I didn’t believe him feeding 1/3 of the last two was good enough. I’m feeding him lots of grass and greens, mazuri tortoise diet, and a little bit of weeds. He came to me with loose stool.
I actually didn’t even mean to add all those photos it just kept adding photos! LOL I do not have a lid but I spray it down when it needs to keep humidity up. It sounded like he may have been feedin 1/3 greens, 1/3 veggies, and 1/3 mazuri tortoise diet. So clearly going over board with the last...
yeah, if you saw how this guy shipped him to me you wouldn’t believe anything he said either. It was 50 degrees and he didn’t include a heat pack. I do have a photo of his stool! He was also shipped to me in a snake bag and he had diarrhea everywhere and it went through the bag and all over the...
I recently bought a 1.5 year old leopard tortoise. The guy said he fed him greens, mazuri tortoise diet, and squash and what not. But he came to me with some pretty serious diarrhea. I have been feeding mostly grass with collard greens, mustards greens, arugula, dandelion leaves, etc. the guy...
