Hi
I’ve been reading up loads on here over the last week and I fear we may have an impacted tortoise 🙁 he hasn’t been eating well for weeks and I haven’t seen anything other than tiny tiny poos in his cage and even that I haven’t seen in ages. I have another thread going about this and does seem as though we’ve been given incorrect information regarding substrate ect. So I have tried to change everything. I have spoke to the pet shop ( this is a specialist exotic animal pet shop in the UK) I have bought him in 3 times and they just say he looks fine. He eats a little but is really is such a small amount few mouth fills here and there. He walks around and can be quite alert at times but he digs down in to his corner and just likes to stay there until we get him out and under the light.
I have tried to get a vet appointment and it’s almost impossible here as no one is taking on new pets. I’m so concerned about him and just don’t know what to do. I’m going to ring around the vets again tomorrow to see if anyone will see him but can anyone give any advise on the meantime. I’ve seen some one was giving there tortoise lactolose? Is this sage to try?
Thanks so much for any advise you can give
