Hi All
It's been Evo's third day with me and I think she is doing well. We have been to the vet yesterday. An english lady who knows a lot about tortoises as they are very common in the UK.
She was very happy with Evo's condition just recommended to drop of her poo for a parricides test and keep that up every 6 months. Evo had her first poo. What does it suppose to look like? Hers was dark green a little moist (pix attached).
She has been eating well when I got home at 5.30pm. Mesclun salad and cabbage covered in Calcium & vit. D3 powder. She finished about 80% of it. How much do I need to feed her? She seems to like eating on the slate. She is normally ready to go to bed around 8pm when she starts digging herself under the substrate and stays there till waken in the morning (is this normal?). I will give her a little strawberry as a treat before bedtime.
She has been yawning (pix attached) that I have notice a few times a day. The vet said to keep an eye on it so it does not become regular, as this could be a respiratory problem.
She seems to like lifting her right back leg up, now sure what that indicates.
Should I soak her daily or every other day?
OK All, any help with my questions will be much appreciated.
