Was the tort dropped recently? It seriously needs a Vet but I realize that ain't gonna happen. What are you gonna do if she doesn't get better? If she's got broken bones she could be in serious pain.
She wasn't dropped and her jaw is okay she just cant bite on things probably she needs really soft things to eat she can eat lettuce and she drinks loads of water
Unfortunately even though I tried everything but sadly that tortoise didn't make it and now my other slightly bigger one is almost facing the same thing that is why she can't bite on things normally and since she is kinda big enough i will try to put her out side in her area that is covered with nets so sunlight can come through and provide her with vitamins
I went to vets and none of them provided me with animal calcium or vitamins d i tried using human calcium wich unfortunately didn't work for my first tortoise as i was too late so i stopped using it and now yesterday i discovered that my other tortoise gas the same thing due to lake of vitamins and answering to Wellington question i don't use temps as the temperature in were I live is warm always but in winter i put the tortoise in a warmer place where heat is provided at the moment i am relying on the sun and food wich has vitamins. Properly one of the other reasons is that i didn't know until a couple months ago that windows block uvb light. Its extremely hard to raise smaller tortoises where i live and during my first time raising a baby tortoise i didn't realise that because i only raised two older tortoises. ( Sorry if this was long)
You have to check the booklet in a box with tablets. Tums should be plain calcium carbonate (you may also ask at pharmacy the cheapest calcium carbonate tablets). Make a fine powder out of tablets.
Is it enough to give her sunlight every day but without giving her and pills because I don't want to take a risk or is it obligated
Of course the one without any flavor or color additives is safest, but it is a great option containing calcium carbonate
The pills will give him the calcium and sun the vitamin D. Crushed into a powder and given with food shouldn't pose a threat. And of course when given like @Maggie3fan suggest, there is no risk for overdose
For a healthy tortoise - yes, it's enough. But we suspect calcium deficiency here so we need to help it a little. Calcium carbonate powder is the same thing as calcium powder for reptiles, no risk here. You do not need to give it pills - crush a tablet into a powder and add a small pinch to its daily meal.
Yes it's safe! She has many years experience and wouldn't tell you to use it if not safe.
