    Any thoughts?

    Yes, they have checked literally every organ to make sure everything is working properly with multiple blood tests and the results came back that everything looks great

    Any thoughts?

    It’s just very frustrating because I’m doing all I can to hydrate him without soaking because I can’t right now, and it isn’t affecting his urates. I’m just confused

    Any thoughts?

    Greek tortoise Substrate currently is paper towels because he NEEDS to have a sterile environment (after his bladder stone surgery, he is still healing) Humidity is always between 40-60%

    Any thoughts?

    He eats all sorts of things!! Varied greens from the store, and weeds during summer because I live in a cold climate. He gets dried weeds from kapidolo farms on top of grocery store greens (plantain, mulberry, cactus, etc)

    Any thoughts?

    My tort is very hydrated.. he’s been getting cucumber for hydration, and I spray his lettuce every day. He cannot get soaked due to a recent bladder stone surgery. He still passes chalky urates and I’m confused because I’ve been doing EVERYTHING to keep him hydrated. Any idea what’s going on?

He had a ginormous bladder stone removed because his previous owners gave him too much protein. He had a plastronotomy, so the environment NEEDS to be sterile at all times considering...

    Urates or Clear Liquid?

    Do tortoise have to excrete urates? I have a tort who mostly pees clear liquid, and a good amount of it too. I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad considering that he only passes urates sometimes

    Oral Medication

    It’s the LS! I didn’t really like the corn in the 5M21, but I can try that if it’s more appetizing
