So about 2 weeks back I started noticing that he wasn't passing any poop. None in his soaks or enclosure. So i decided to take him in to the vets (first time for him). They took a xray and said everything looks fine.. prescribed some laxatives and de-worming meds to see if that will help him...
So i've had him for just over 7 months now and back in June i measured him (by the plastron) and he was 4.5cm. 4 months later he's still at 4.5cm ! He looks healthy, eats everyday, i bathe him 5 days out of the week and is fairly active. I feed him spring mix (with supplement) and occasionally...
I was just wondering when i should be changing out and replacing the uvb strip light? I read from a site before that it should be replaced every 8 months or so? Please correct me!
And does the lighting setup seem to be okay in the picture? Im using a UVB strip light from "All living things"...
Is there possibly a reason why he isnt? I try to soak him daily if not every other day and he poops but i dont ever notice him drinking or urinating. Maybe im just worrying too much lol
Hey guys! Im fairly new to this forum and i got my greek tortoise about 4 days ago! Was wondering if anyone could take a wild guess how old he is.
He's about 3" long from the top of his shell to the bottom!
He tends to sleep a lot during the day and its usually in the food dish!
