really? it looks brownish green, and a bit transparent...
It eats lettuce, then it eats Mazuri by itself !!!
[hr]
BUT its poop is still light green, what should I do? Should I give it Metronidazole again? (I fed it 3 times before already, each time 6mg, with interval of 2-3 days). Thanks....
IT EATS by itself - after 40 days of not eating!!!
It started eating just a little bit of lettuce last night, and then now 18:30, it eats a piece of lettuce leaf!
Amysemys's method worked, I gave it total 3 times of Metronidazole 6mg, and forcefed it with Glucose water + Eletrolyte water +...
thanks, I see, will forcefeed more fiber to the tort gradually. :)

OK, will do ;)

It is still very active, but very thin, and I keep him warm and 70-80% humid, forcefeed everyday water+glucose+Mazuri mush+grass powder, its weight fluctuates between 94g and 96g, not gaining much...
The tort is still not eating, but still active. Tonight I soaked it for 1 hour in very very warm water, it pooped out all of the force-fed foods that owner previously gave it. I want to flush out all its intestine clean.
Then I force-fed it electrolyte water + glucose + Mazuri mush water...
Thank you. don't worry, I can wait, it's 3:47am here now, I sleep now.
BTW, that kid, the owner mistakenly gave 2 times to the sulcata with Levamisole HCL for protozoa infection. :(
Levamisole HCL is rather poisonous, it is not for treating protozoa but parasites. :(
could Levamisole HCL...

Finally, I lost my patience, I tried everything to get her to poo but failed. Just now, I flipped her over, upside-down, and blew warm heater air toward her tail, her tail moved left and right, and after 15 minutes, five pieces of poos came out, they were not hard, only medium-hard, and moist...
Please help.
My aldabra (35cm now) always poos once every 3-4 days. This week, she hasn't poo like 10 days now, why? (she pees daily without prob, eats normally) I am so worried. :( How many days the poos stay inside her is normal? thanks. (she's very heavy this week, with poos inside...
Is splay a BMD? My aldabra (35cm) has splay back legs :(
because she doesn't like to walk during the cold weather. But in summer I make her walk a lot, then she's better.
Thanks for your great advice again.
Yes, I am dedicated to raising my aldabra, I've even sold all my other tortoises, now only spend lots of time studying and raising this one aldabra, lol.
Thanks. My aldabra loves hot bath. I bathe him once everyday or at least once every 2 days.
Yes, it grows fast, I feed him Mazuri food mainly, 5-10 pcs when he was a baby, now 13 pcs daily, but I also give him some vegies and fruits from time to time, around once every 2-3 days. I also feed...
