I have had four Redfoot tortoises for a while. Including my sick one. I never notice any bad smells.
Two days ago I got three more Redfoot. These guys smell badly. There are also flies near them. I can't find a particular tortoise or area on any of them That smells. It just smells around them and especially inside their house.
I'm thinking that it was diet or them being left to walk and live in their own poop. (Before I got them) They came in a wire rabbit cage. All three of them jammed in there. When they walk around they travel one behind the other like they are afraid to explore.
I'm going to soak / bathe them individually. Has any one had a stinky tort and how did you cure it.
Yes. They are in isolation from my other torts.
