My vet mentioned a type of water drops to add to the water whilst soaking that have vitamins and minerals in it, and for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it, does anyone know of any products like this? Thanks

I sometimes use liquid bird vitamins in the soaking water. Just a couple drops.

Why not just add a super food into the diet to offer up vitamins....(dandelion green and flower, softened sweet potato, a cherry or two without the pits or stems) that would also be a yummier way for the tort to get the boost..... :)

He’s a non Fruit eating species and we want to try and avoid them, he had dandelion greens regularly in his food mix which is safe and occasional weeds.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

Of course...that is why I suggest it as a boost....I am very familiar with non fruit eating species...very. I would not suggest something that I would find harmful....food items are just a better way to get vitamins in the torts diet than commercially chemically processed shelf vitamins....but whatever works :)
