Hi everybody. I was wondering if some kind person could shed some light on my tortoise problem please? I have a Golden Greek who is 8 months old. I seriously can't believe how much he has grown over the past 3 months. Anyway, we are feeding him mainly dandelion and clover right now. Mainly because we have an abundance of it but also it is clearly his favourite as it is eaten in no time. He can also eat huge amounts. We also give him spinach and cabbage leaves. I've also noticed him eating small stones. I'd say three times in the past 6 weeks he has had really loose stools. He can go a 2 weeks without having it sometimes more and then he has quite a lot. That's why I'm not sure it is the dandelions. We rinse them thoroughly but we don't use treatments on our grass anyway. He sometimes the stool trails behind him by what looks like a very fine hair. I made the mistake of trying to help it along once and he didn't like that at all.
I'm sorry if I sound a complete idiot but we are very new to this and have had no problems with this until the last 6 weeks. I really don't want to make this problem worse so thought I should ask advice.
