Hi Tortoise Tribe,
Does anyone have some advice on how I can improve the health of my tort, Double T? I got a 1 y/o cherry head tortoise almost a month ago and it was evident that the previous caretaker did a poor job raising the little guy. Double T had pyramiding, weak legs, dry skin, and a diet of solely pellet food. In the last month I’ve seen Double T’s health improve but i noticed today one of his scoots flake (pictures attached). I’ve been feeding him calcium, hibiscus, and mealworms for the most part, his enclosure is quite humid, and i give him baths almost everyday. Is there anything else I can do so his shell gets more healthy? Also what is the flaking?
Thanks Team
