Okay so I got Boris a few weeks ago. So far I have fed him butternut squash, carrotts, spring mix lettuce mix, green leaf lettuce, bib lettuce and raddichio. I try and mix it up a bit. He doesn't touch his timothy hay...or the tortoise pellets the store sold me. Anyone else have this issue? Also...
Woke up to find this in Boris's tank when I turned on the light. This is the spot he had been sleeping. Is this what urates looks like? I haven't found a photo online that looks like this to compare it to. My vet is closed today but I did email him a photo for tomorrow for him to look at...
I am a new Russian tortoise owner...he is appropriately named Boris. He's cute and friendly...probably about 4 1/2" inches or so. I'd say about a year old because I got him at Petco and I've heard that they capture from the wild??? So I don't think he's a baby. Anyways, he likes to eat and dig...
