We've had Tortomir for about a month now, and when we got him, his digestive system wasn't the best. For example: whenever he went to the bathroom, it was very runny, not firm at all. So we started him on fiber with his greens. Despite this, it is still very liquidy, and I have yet to see anything firm or with any shape come out of him. I also recently started noticing that he does this weird motion when he breathes (and he always has, I just recently started noticing it, and that it hasn't stopped); when he breathes, his head and front legs go in and out with the breath. Is this normal? I'm just very concerned that he's sick, and I just want to know if these are serious things that I should really worry about. I was reading an article about symptoms of sick tortoises and he had several: the runny stool and the motions he does when he breathes. I'll attach a picture of the article along with this. Please, if you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. I just want a healthy tort, and I want him to stay that way. Thank you guys.
