A lot of white stuff in pee

[JhinTheTortoise]

My tortoise peed a huge chunk of white stuff, I know they normally do this, but this is a little concerning to me because it is pretty massive. I was wondering if it’s because of her diet? she mainly eats weeds such as dandelions and lettuce.

Seems like normal urates. People usually say that they have the consistency of toothpaste or egg yolk, but they can be gritty and powdery if your tortoise isn't getting enough water. (A problem I think i'm having with my sulcatas) I don't think you have anything to worry about in this case.

White is urates so normal. Try to increase soaks for around 40 mins daily or 3 times a week in shallow warm 35C water temp in a container they can not walk out of! This will encourage water drinking and hydration and urates will be more watery. Diet of weeds etc is great and provide fresh water 24 X 7 in enclosure replenished twice a day in a dish they can walk in and out of similar to a flower pot water base.

This is normal and fine.
