Ahhhh, I see. I had forgotten all about the mazuri, mainly because I ran out. I used to feed her mazuri one day and spring mix the other, etc. I'll have to order more from Tyler, or I'll look into that salad style stuff you mentioned. She's a year and a half old, and pretty large for her age...

Tom, She has always eaten a spring mix, Fresh Express, at least once a day. I have no idea why she eats her substrate, but she eats her Forrest moss too. Any ideas?

Nope, just the zoo-med UVB bulb

Just an update - about a week and a half ago she finally cleared all her blockage, this final piece was unexplainably large..... But after a couple of days, she has come out of hiding and is a completely new tort. She's eating 3 times a day and is more active than I've ever seen. I replaced her...

I've always seen that cypress mulch was a great choice but apparently not for her. She has sphagnum moss in her hideout, doesn't seem to eat that, would that be a better, yet expensive choice?

So me being me and had a hard time watching her suffer, I grabbed a head set flash light and took another good look up her....butthole.... I could see exactly what it was. I took a round set of tweezers(not sharp or pointy) and opened up her rear end a bit and took another set of tweezers and...

30min soaks daily is her normal routine, I'll soak her for a couple hours twice a day and try the above, hopefully she passes. I've been watching her try over and over again for 2 hours straight now.

I thought about taking a syringe and shooing a little "lubricant" up there, could it hurt? The poor girl, I can tell she's miserable. She knew what I was doing with the tweezers because she would actually hold her tail out and allow me to gently open her poop hole to get a good look inside, it's...

Last week I noticed my 1 1/2 year old sulcata was having trouble pooping, not being able to poop at all. What she's done is taking a liking to her cypress mulch. She likes to eat it.... Anyways, I left out of town and had someone feed her and soak her but she wasn't eating at all and when I got...

My roommate and I are 100% ready

Biden pays for a website for desert tortoises I found this on yahoo.com, pretty cool is you ask me. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110614/od_afp/uspoliticsenvironmentanimalsoffbeat

I think Terra get's lazy or she just doesn't know yet. I have to remind myself she's not even 3 months old yet. A lot of times she just barely gets herself into her hideaway and then goes to sleep. I'll then move her to a nice warm and humid spot and she won't move except to stretch herself out...

Just curiouse as to how many of us "tuck" our torts to sleep.....:D What I mean is I'll check on Terra before I go to bed and I might scoot her over to a nice warm spot, or I may scoot some moss against her, or put some on top of her, and maybe even tell her good night in a soft voice.

When she eats mazuri for a full day(only happens if I run out of spring mix due to unavailability), she eats 6-8 pellets in a day....fully. The next day she'll poo out urates in a jelly like form. She's done that ever since I had her though. When she just came home I fed her mazuri for about 5...

I came home and found Terra PASSED OUT on her, what I call her, "Terra-Pedic" bed. She reminded me of a little baby passed out after a long day. You really can't tell by the pictures but she's got herself positioned perfectly as if she was on a cloud of air, so beautiful. I had to wake her up...

She eats 3 times a day now, spring mix and mazuri. I try not to feed her too much mazuri, when she does she seems to poop urates often, like everyday.

I can only imagine how much better she felt..... I would have liked to have been able to weight them.:cool:

I know how we love poop pics, I was very impressed with these. They came from within 5 minutes of eachother. NOTE: When Terra poops in her bath water I take it out so that she doesn't get it all over herself, these are not the same poops, but two different poops, all in the same "sitting". I...
