    Testudo tortoise. Squeaking?

    Edit: we are unsure if it’s a girl as we were told the tortoise is too young. But it’s made this call pretty often today.

    Update; we decided to soak him and apparently he defecated 5 times. Each time was white webby substance. Is this the urates he passes? Also is that UBV bulb bad for him?

    Hello! Alrighty context time; I bought my partner a tortoise from pet smart for his birthday. I had done two weeks plus of forum crawling on here and various sites to learn what we needed for him. But everything I’ve seen contradicts itself. So we found similarities and purchased items based on...
