Hi everyone
Two months ago I adopted a tortoise and all has been great except for today, I went to feed him and found a 1 inch bladder stone in his enclosure that he passed, his bottom was a bit swollen from it but no blood and the swelling went down some after soaking him twice today.
I soak him every few days and keep water in his enclosure at all times, he is feed grass and weeds daily with some veggies 2 times a week only. He has a cuttle bone in his enclosure that he loves and I sprinkle TNT on his food every few days.
The weather is getting cold so he's in now more then out. He is housed in a 6 ft by 3 ft enclosure with a tarp over to keep in heat and moisture, I spray his enclosure down daily to keep humidity up and have he got side at 90-100 and cool side at 75/80.
Today I soaked him twice and he drank some water both times as well passed urine and pooped once. I seen urniate in the water both times he peed. Giving him only grass, orchard hay and some weeds now.
I was wondering what else I should do to prevent this from happening again??
Attached pictures of the stone and his bum... he is 3 pounds and 8 inches long
