Hey all my name is Darryl from Boston. I just recently rescued a severely neglected sulcata tortoise from a very inexperienced keeper nearby. Being new to tortoises myself, I did as much research as I could and consulted my herp vet about him. he was riddled with parasites, hookworms and protozone, and really underweight. I got him to a vet and treated. Had him eating like crazy. Feeding him iceberg lettuce. Which I know sulcatas digestive systems are only designed to breakdown grasses and hay, from my understanding, and that is why they develop the pyramids on their shells from eating greens. Because they are just not designed to be able to break down protiens and calcium, etc. I give him regular baths once a week. I was told by my vet to keep feeding him greens while he's still small, but that one day, I will have to play hardball with him and start only offering hay until he gets hungry enough to eat it. Well Mojo, as I call him, stopped eating suddenly a few days ago and seems really sluggish all of a sudden. And today when I gave him his bath and cleared his poop (he has trouble pooping, it gets stuck on his shell) he started releasing this really thick yellowish liquid before the urates. Is that normal? Any ideas or even general advise in keeping in general will be greatly appreciated. My vet is only in on Saturdays and I'll be freaking out till then.
