Hi everyone! You have all helped me before with the trials and tribulations of raising a hatchling redfoot. Turtie is now 16 months old and is still having problems pooping. He had a run in with a vet about 3 months ago and thats when this all started. He was pooping daily and then the vet dosed him with some metrodiazole to get rid of protozoa in his gut. I never should have allwed this but the vet was recommended on tortoise forum. He tubed the medicine into his stomach causing him to vomit. The vet told me to bring him back in a few days so he could dose him again since he had vomited all the medication. I did that. This started all the problems. I have tried following everyones advice with soaking, feeding aloe vera and pumpkin ( which he wont eat) and benebac. Still he is only pooping every 7-10 days and poop is sometimes a little dry when it finally comes out. Hes eating well and is active and alert. He loves to walk in the yard and goes outside every day possible for a few hours. Should i continue to worry about this or should i consider this the new normal for him?
