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

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

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%

His enclosure his 11x8 and it is a tortoise table. I’m heating with 2 flood lights, UVB strip, and a heat emitter on the other side during winter time

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)

So, he eats all sorts of lettuce from the grocery store that are safe (no spinach of course). He gets dandelion, turnip greens, mustard, radicchio, etc. He gets TNT supplement, and I have a bunch of dried weeds from Kapidolo farm that I sprinkle every day for more nutrients He had a bladder...

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 is currently in a tortoise table with paper towels because he isn’t allowed to have anything else right now. 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...

Hi! My Greek tort has been passing some chalky urates but I keep him hydrated. I spray his greens, give him cucumber time to time, and high water content lettuce. (He gets weeds and nutrient dense lettuce as well, I’ve just been trying to hydrate him by adding it in) He CAN’T bathe, he’s had...

My tort usually always has lots of clear urine, and then creamy white urates. However, today he passed some really chalky ones. I spray his lettuce every day, he has a large drinking bowl for water, however I can’t soak him because of his recent surgery. I’ve been hydrating him but maybe it...

That’s the thing, he had a bladder stone removed. But i am making sure he is VERY hydrated, spraying his greens with water before he eats them, cucumber once a week (he’s on antibiotics so he needs to be very hydrated because he can’t take baths for now) He pees a whole lot of clear liquid, it...

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

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

Unfortunately he hates Mazuri. I do have some, but he never really eats it

My Greek had a plastronomy to get a huge bladder stone removed. It’s been about a month, he was doing great. Active, eating, back to his normal self. He had an appoint about a week ago, and he does have an infection. 3 different bacteria’s that were sent out to a lab to be identified and...

I have a Greek tortoise, and he pooped out a round worm. I brought him to the vet and he has a de-wormer, so that’s all set. However, his enclosure is cleaned daily I never let poop or urates sit in there. Round worm is usually from contamination; he eats weeds (plantain, dandelion, etc) from...

My tort had a plastronomy recently, he’s doing well, however ever time he gets his antibiotic (every 72 hours) he seems not to be as interested in food and more lethargic. I’m assuming it upsets his stomach, or doesn’t make him feel too good. I have TNT, but don’t want to give it every 3 days...

This is interesting! I’ve never heard this. He is a Greek, so his temps are 80-85 ambient, 95-100 basking spot, and then cool side of 75-80. His night house doesn’t usually drop below 75 degrees

I’ve had him for about 2 years. I rescued him from a sanctuary, no idea what the previous owners care or diet looked like. He’s been hydrated with baths, etc. but he never showed signs of discomfort until recently which is why he went to the vet to get a CT scan. He has been in this routine...

It is a bit strange though because he is well hydrated. He pees tons of clear liquid. Gets warm soaks every day. Water is provided and his lettuce gets misted.
