    Red foot after surgery

    Thanks for your advice everyone, unfortunately when I woke up this morning the little one had passed. I was very distraught because of how much faith I had that I could help him. The vet made the procedure seem so simple, but I think it’s possible that we didn’t look closely enough at what...

    Update, my tortoise has passed this uric stone, how can I prevent this in the future? Is there some aspect of his diet that I’m missing? More fiber maybe? Calcium? Also, can you make any suggestions on other ways I can prevent this from happening in the future?

He eats well on spring mix vegetables...
