If you feed too much collards, kale, cabbage, etc you will have the same problem. I think if the calcium content in her diet was that high I would be seeing an increase in urates?
Besides, I see posts about torts eating whole cuttle bones and they dont suffer any ill effect. Livingstone does not have a cuttle bone.
As a moderator, can you point me in the direction of a link to urates?
Either way, I am doing research into iodine defficiency now. Thanks, and yes, this is a very good thread.
