Hi,
I’m new to the forum and very concerned about our Horsefield tortoise.
He is 4, we have had him for three years. He was unwell quite quickly after we got him and when we visited the vet we discovered he had kidney problems. With the vets help and lots of love and care we got him well again.
Since then we have made sure his temps and lights are correct etc but in the last two months he has been refusing to eat much at all and is loosing weight. We took him to the vet who did a stool sample which came back fine and she couldn’t see anything wrong.
He’s loosing weight rapidly, 30g in the last two months and we just don’t know what to do. Any advice would be helpful!!

See if you can find a product called Nutrazu. If you can get him to eat this, it helps to put weight on. What types of food are you offering?
