emysemys said:Clean and rinse your bath tub very well. VERY well. Position a light over one part of the tub and put enough warm water in there to come up to the middle of the tortoise's sides. Leave her in there for an hour, but be sure to check on her frequently.
The warm water, coupled with the walking back and forth and trying to escape, does wonders for relieving anything lodged in one of her pipes...whether it be eggs or fecal matter or stones.
