Happy Birthday Bogart!!!
Yep he is always supervised when he is out with the cat. They graze on grass together but I keep a watchful eye. Thank youHe is adorable...and watch out for those two sneaky elusive five toes creeping up on him.....

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I'll keep up the mazuri. 600 grams is a good weight! I'm sure with a small amount of pyramiding you won't be able to tell later on.He's not that behind on his weight. Mazuri 2-3 times week will definitely help. Mine will be 1 year old in 2 days and he weighed 600 grams yesterday. Your sulcata is a smooth as you can get. Mine has very minor pyramiding I'm hoping will fade as he continues to grow
I hope he isn't in too much pain from the urate stones. Do you think they formed because of too much of one particular food?Bogart got an X-ray today and looks like he has some little urate stones
On a positive note he reached 1 pound!!!

I don't think so. I feed him mulberry leafs, grass, tuxedo mix, cactus pads, different weeds, grape leafs, geranium leafs, hibiscus leafs, etc. He gets a very wide range. And I try to soak him two times a day, morning and evening. The only thing i can think of is he was having really gritty urates about a month ago and when I stop his power supplements, calcium and a mineral supplement, they turned smooth again. I was giving 1-2 a week but I must have been giving too much. These stones might be left over from that. I hope he passes them soon.I hope he isn't in too much pain from the urate stones.

Oh, good to note. Never want to offer too many vitamins or supplements. Sounds like he has a great diet!! I like the plants you offer. You should see some photos of my garden; I have a lot of those plants in it: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread...-russian-tortoise-enclosure-and-garden.92343/I don't think so.
