    Its a safe feed. Check The Tortoise Table database. I wouldn't feed it if it wasn't safe.

    Health concern

    He does exactly that, passes watery poop and little bits of undigested food... I have l however noticed today, that he has a red spot on his penis which could be causing this problem. I will take him the vet. He has been pooping a lot better the past few days, by that I mean solid whole poops. I...

    Health concern

    He is on towels as recommended by the vets. Towels or newspaper. So I can monitor his stools more freely. I am at work until 8am tomorrow so can get pics of his set up. Its not ideal but until the shed is up and running, water tight, and insulated/ heated.. he is indoors. He doesn't like it...

    This is Sherman ( after the tank) as you can see he has bright eyes, and looks relatively healthy. He does have some pyramiding, however this has improved significantly since having him.

    Yes he could be, when he passes anything he gets his winkle out which he doesn't normally do.. also, he isn't passing anything in full.. its all a bit wet and in bits. No solid poop.

    Enclosure.

    That's completely safe? I went to my local hardwear shop, and the lady was reluctant to sell me anything that may cause harm to the tortoises... which I thought was really good of her rather than just making cash. I will do that and see what happens. Thank you.

    Health concern

    Heya, thank you for replying. Yes the vet looked inside his mouth, and I have been looking as much as I can when he feeds. I gave him a long soak just now and he has a LOT of gas.. he still seems uncomfortable love him. I will try doing this for a few days in a row as you have advised. So...

    Health concern

    I have a 15 year old Male Spurthigh. He is normally a typical male, always charging around, and owning the place! But recent weeks he hasn't been right. ( when you know you know) Thought he may have something stuck in his mouth, gums or throat.. but nothing. I took him to Trinity vet...

    Enclosure.

    Hi all, I am seeking some advice on how to restore my Tortoise enclosure. Built out of timber, and made to measure... I thought I had the perfect outside house.. until water got in and the WHOLE of the inside went mouldy. I was close to having another built but after already spending £350 on...
