White urine?

[Snapper925]

Never seen my tortoises actually urine, but holding my rescued sulcata today, she went and her urine looked like milk almost?
Is this normal?

Likely passing urates....was the white pure liquid or was it a little more like toothpaste texture with the liquid?

Most likely urates...

Exactly! It was like toothpaste mixed in water

Sounds like urates, considering the conditions she has been kept up in until now, I would have expected chunky and not creamy ones.

The more hydrated she is the fewer urates she will have to pass....

Good! She has been drinking a lot the past day!
