One last thing on the DE, do you just sprinkle it on, sort of a salt shaker sort of thing? I've got some coming, I remember when I had 100's of lbs of that stuff. Used it for packing filter pumps.Zillions of little dead exoskeletons in a bag.
Yup, I do soak it. I just think it may take some time for them to get accustomed to it. I've also tried I've also tried the Zoomed Grassland Tortoise Food and the Rep-Cal Fortified Daily Diet. I have a little bit of success with each of them but most of the time the torts just make a mess of it...
Thanks for clarification. I've used 100's of lbs of that in the past. Good for cleaning them out? I might try that first, it's inert. How much do you use? A sprinkle?

Yup, all of the above right down to Rubbermaid! Ha
Anyway, in my research on the subject I ran into a Rescue/Vet who sent me this. Maybe of some use to others, but with all of the normal disclaimers thrown in.

I have one of my Russians with something not working. He's very lethargic, always sleeping. He let out a poo this morning is was runny, sort of a yellowish-beige color. He's not eating well either, just a tiny bit.

Thanks
