Is it true that some torts are prone to pass solid/hard urates no matter how hydrated?
I got great advice on here about gritty urates, but now that they are hard, I need help again.:shy:
I've had my baby Nodder for 3 weeks now. The first time I saw urates, it was very hard. For the last 9 days, I've seen urates daily-a bit on the gritty side. However, today it was very hard again-like a little rock about 2mm.
Fecal material looks normal and is daily as well.
I'm feeding spring mix (no spinach), weeds/grass, mazuri 2x a week, calcium w/D3 sprinkle 2x a week.
Cactus 2x a week.
I've also give pumpkin or sweet potato once a week
Soak once daily for 30 minutes.
Water in the enclosure
Humidity 80-90% in the hide at 83ish degrees
60-70% in the rest of the enclosure (working on getting that to 80%).
Soaked substrate/moss in hide.
Hot spot 100-108
Cool side 75-85
Warm side 90-95
Thanks!
