Hi i hope your tort gets rid of those stones, the pinkish lines are normal, i freaked out too when i saw mine with them lol, they are growth lines so dont worry
Well, as previously mentioned--the pinkish tint to the lines is normal, just a tort growing
I am happy to hear all your efforts and diligence has offered relief to your tort....very happy and fantastic job!!!!!
Also, a tortoise making audible sounds that replicate cries has been reported within a variety of torts...usually a clear sign of physical pain is noted when this occurs....I am so relieved that those cries have stopped.....
