I am the owner of 2 new baby Leopard Tortoise, Shellie and Shelbert.
Actually they are my son's. He bought them 2 weeks before he left for college and now mom takes care of them. I love them to bits but their care is challenging. Shelbert has been having problems and I belive it is constipation. When we go to the vet they say he is very healthy. However he only goes to the bathroom once every 7 days. During the week he acts like he is gasping and squeeks pushing his head way out. I fed him pumpkin by looking at this forum and he actually went that night and every day for 6 days after that. Now it has been 3 days again even though I have been giving him some pumpkin every other day or so. Is there such a thing as too much pumpkin.
I am new to this forum so I am learning how to use it. Hopefully, I am doing this right. Any feedback would be welcome.
