[split] Star Tortoise
I have two baby stars. They are two inches and weigh 35-40 grams.
One seems extremely healthy, poops only every morning during his soaking, eats well and is not afraid of me.
The other seems a little sick, poops in his pen, in his soaking, and sometimes after soaking too. However, he walks around all the time and looks energetic. He's pooped white poo once and I also found a pool of liquid (could be pee or vomit) with some white stuff in it. I'm told he has a stomach upset - but have no clue how to fix him. Any help?
They are fed a mix of Coriander, Salad leaves, carrot, Hibiscus flowers and leaves, and Opuntia Indica. I want to give them a good mix of healthy food - but a lot of the suggested plant names are Botanical and it's difficult to convert them to the local language name (India). Anyone have common name suggestions?
They get a 20 min warm water soak every morning and occasionally a warm spray mist shower in the evenings. They are in one 3ft by 2ft pen and are left in the house for a few hours a day to walk around and exercise.
Thanks
I'd also like to get a perspective on 2v1.
Is it better to have 2 torts so they have company - or will one be just as happy by himself?
