Hi guys,
I have been having a really difficult time getting Tortellini to eat much lately, I’ve tried all kinds of different greens, and lettuce is really the only thing I can get him to eat (and only about half of what he used to eat at that). I did recently change up is diet quite a bit to make it more varied, so this could have something to do with it. On top of this, I noticed his back legs are getting darker and darker and today I noticed the back of his shell is dipping a little. He has a UBV light in his enclosure and I give him calcium occasionally, but with him not eating much lately he hasn’t eaten a lot of it. He won’t touch calcium bones at all. I have posted some photos, does it look like MBD? Should I get him to a vet? This is my first tortoise and I can acknowledge that even with research I don’t know everything yet. Thanks so much in advance
