really? it looks brownish green, and a bit transparent...
It eats lettuce, then it eats Mazuri by itself !!!
[hr]
BUT its poop is still light green, what should I do? Should I give it Metronidazole again? (I fed it 3 times before already, each time 6mg, with interval of 2-3 days). Thanks....
IT EATS by itself - after 40 days of not eating!!!
It started eating just a little bit of lettuce last night, and then now 18:30, it eats a piece of lettuce leaf!
Amysemys's method worked, I gave it total 3 times of Metronidazole 6mg, and forcefed it with Glucose water + Eletrolyte water +...
thanks, I see, will forcefeed more fiber to the tort gradually. :)

OK, will do ;)

It is still very active, but very thin, and I keep him warm and 70-80% humid, forcefeed everyday water+glucose+Mazuri mush+grass powder, its weight fluctuates between 94g and 96g, not gaining much...
The tort is still not eating, but still active. Tonight I soaked it for 1 hour in very very warm water, it pooped out all of the force-fed foods that owner previously gave it. I want to flush out all its intestine clean.
Then I force-fed it electrolyte water + glucose + Mazuri mush water...
Thank you. don't worry, I can wait, it's 3:47am here now, I sleep now.
BTW, that kid, the owner mistakenly gave 2 times to the sulcata with Levamisole HCL for protozoa infection. :(
Levamisole HCL is rather poisonous, it is not for treating protozoa but parasites. :(
could Levamisole HCL...

Finally, I lost my patience, I tried everything to get her to poo but failed. Just now, I flipped her over, upside-down, and blew warm heater air toward her tail, her tail moved left and right, and after 15 minutes, five pieces of poos came out, they were not hard, only medium-hard, and moist...
