Hi everyone my yearling hermann tortoise has passed some gritty urates recently, It started around mid december and i made a post about and got recomendations to higher humidity soak more and spray food with water and i did all these thing there was just one problem, I had an open top enclossure so humidity was very hard to control. I have now covered the enclosure which i did about three weeks ago so around 7-8 januari so now the humidity is good 60-80 generally above 70-80 on cool side and above 60 on hot. But so now that everything with getting him hydrated should be good with twice a day soaks for 30 minutes high humidity and spraying water on food, he also has an humid hide So the urates should clear up right and the reason they are still gritty now after 3 weeks should be becuse of former conditions right since it was to dry? I think he has passed gritty urates twice since i covered the enclosure.

So everything should clear up as long as I keep on doing what I am doing now?
