My leopard has trouble with constipation too so I have been reading all your tips and suggestions with great interest. I usually try some grated aloe vera on her food (very mushy but she won't touch it otherwise) and it still takes days afterwards. I have looked up mineral oil liquid for UK but it seems that over here it is known as liquid paraffin which is a common remedy for human constipation - I think this is probably different from the paraffin used as fuel so check with a chemist/ pharmacist first!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_paraffin_(medicinal) - I would not use the paraffinum perliquidum (light) more than very short term.

I know when my tort is doing his business he sticks his head in and out a couple times. It's his signal to the clean up crew

@Sosamuk what's the story?

Just wondering would a leaf dipped in a more natural human remedy like syrup of figs or stuff that uses senna pods do the same jobs or are these harmful to torts?
