Hello and Welcome. In my opinion, if you do not notice any real problems with him, I would not take him to the vet. Most vets have no or very little clue about tortoises. I would try to find one, for those times you may actually need one, but I would only use them at that time.

i don't know about the vet part. but i would not feed him broccoli it inhibits the absorption on calcium.

hey guys, everything seams absolutely fine with him (assuming hes a he lol) but its just for peace of mind. aslo he has a microchip so want to update details on that.

we've been calling around to find somewhere with an experienced vet just should anything happen we would know where to go.

he's not fed much borcalli, also has cuttlebone constantly and food dusted with calsium powder every few days?

I'm sorry i don't know. but I'm leaning on it being a male
