I think she is impacted
Or her intestine rolled over
Yet she laid 4 eggs
Each One at a time
I force feed her fibers like lettuce
She only urinate one time
Her urine is full of small and medim and large stones.
Her back limbs don't move well . I think it is a sign of hard constipation.
So. How can I treat constipation
Or impaction ?
can I use lactose as laxitive
Or paraffin oil...
Miniral oils may be. ?

Try cucumber first. If that doesn't work there are other things you can try.

She needs to be hydrated. You must soak her at least twice a day for a good 30 minutes each time in warm water.

Try feeding cucumber to get more water in her too.

The stones could well be gritty urate from dehydration

I have no experience with more than that.

Could be kidney problems
Could be lack of calcium
Could be a number of things.
She is always try to push anything with her legs even there is nothing to push. as something impacted can't get rid of it.
If it is kidney function. How to treat it?

I tried cucumbers but it doesn't work
Is paraffin oil harmful?
Mina please answer this question. I have asked several times and never got an answer.

Are you soaking her 2 or 3 times a day for at least 30 minutes each time?

The water must be warm and come up over her plastron (undershell)

It is best to use a high sided bowl so she cannot see out.

And question 2 that must be answered is

Are you soaking her every day without fail?

I am putting her in water all the day long.
I decided to use paraffin oil. Any idea.

Are you sure she isn't trying to dig a nest? That leg motion sounds like nesting. I know you don't have enough substrate for nesting and she has been trying to lay eggs.

If it's kidney function, best you can do is keep them hydrated right now.

How much/what are you force feeding her?
