Tortoise stone?

[Mungo]

My nine year old Indian Star Tortoise seems to have passed some kind of stone... pictures attached.

Any ideas?

This means he's very dehydrated. You are lucky he passed it. Quite often the stones require surgery. What do you feed him and how often do you soak him?

Yes bladder stones can be very serous might be worth an X-ray to be sure there aren't more in there

She gets a warm soak once a week. She gets grasses, Timothy hay, aloe vera, romaine, kale etc as well as supplements...

he needs to be soaked at least every other day for 20 to 30 minutes.

Yes, she will be soaked every day from now on.
