Chalky urates??

[Tori67]

My tort usually always has lots of clear urine, and then creamy white urates. However, today he passed some really chalky ones. I spray his lettuce every day, he has a large drinking bowl for water, however I can’t soak him because of his recent surgery. I’ve been hydrating him but maybe it isn’t enough.

Any tips? Has Reptoboost been helpful for anyone? What do you guys think?

I feed mine 1/2 cup Repashy Grassland Grazer every day. Really helps with the hydration, not to mention the added nutritional benefits. I can see a huge difference with the urates when I feed to him. Sorry, never used Reptoboost so I can't comment on that.

Feed a piece of head lettuce or romaine daily with his other foods. Those two lettuces are almost all water.
