Tortoise may be constipated

[Mys]

Do tortoises get constipated? My Russian tortoise is only passing small amounts "harder looking", and seems lethargic and interested in his food. Any experience with this?

Usually it's temps but try aloes or cactus they will soften a torts poo ! If it's not temps !

Do more soaking and feed watery foods like mentioned above and cucumber and head or romaine lettuce will help too.
These foods should not be a main diet once he is fine. Can be added in small amounts daily with a varied diet though, once he is better.

Greetings. Another reason could be too cramped of enclosure. How are you keeping your Russian? Lots of crawl space/exercise, soakings, aloe, etc like others mentioned will help keep this issue from happening.
