Hello! I have a baby sulcata tortoise named silkie, and she was purchased sometime around February twelfth. She had some pretty rough health problems early on, but I thought we put that behind us. But she has been acting strangely. She poops white stuff about twice a day and she didn't eat her food today. She has a diet of tortoise food romaine lettuce or spring mix, and now that it is springtime, I have begun to add in grasses and weeds. She lives in a four foot by two-foot cement mixing tub for now and has a humidity of about 80%, tho I am not able to keep it constantly at that because I am not home all day. Her enclosure is partially covered, and that does the trick while we work on a larger one for her. Her temps are 80f on the warm side and about 75f on the cold side. Her basking temperature is about 95f. She also has access to a UVB bulb. I know the white poop is normal in moderation, but why is it happening so much. If you have any ideas please share.
