How long have you had the tortoise? Where did you get it?
If you are getting visible urates, I would soak longer and more frequently.Had him over a year he is about 3lbs and no I dont soak daily

If this is properly introduced by the breeder, they just eat it. If not, you have to spend weeks or months introducing it slowly. Cut up a very small amount of fresh young grass super fine. Then cut up the days favorite greens super fine and spray some water all over the pile. Sprinkle your cut up grass onto the pile of cut up greens and mix it all up throughly. Over time, up the ratio of grass to greens. It can be a slow process, but its worth it.Tom how can I get my baby leopard to want to eat grass? I see an occasional nibble but there really is not much interest. He seems more interested in the hibiscus leaves and goes crazy for romaine but I would rather not give him any lettuce unless its a treat now and then.
I got a question. I am new at this. My Sulcata I got on Feb 14th Tidus is now 2 1/2 inches from head to shell. Is that the right way to measure Tidus. Tidus loves dandelion, mustard greens so far but hates other stuff we tried on the list. We have timothy hay there for him. We live in AZ where it is hot, dry. What should the enclosure have? Yes we have heat lamp, also a UV lamp. I did not know you had to put the food in a food dish my fault on my end. Also put the food in little pieces is that true? Tidus is tiny yet so what size of bowl? I have had mixed advice here on watering Tidus. Some says they take there tortoise out to water when they are that tiny, some say put a water dishes in there. So what do you guys recommend? Some say no humid hide some say yes. If this does not make any sense sorry have bronchitis right now. Any advice will be helpful.View attachment 236254

You absolutely do need a water bowl, a humid hide, and 80% humidity in a closed chamber.
Thanks!!!
He's probably not warm enough. That's the number one cause of a baby tortoise not eating.I was worried about Tidus not eating, maybe be dehydrated. I put a water dish in there not to deep. Then since Tidus is always lifeless the last couple days. I put Tidus in the warm water dish he sat there for a while then started moving, walking around the dish. Look like Tidus was just walking in the water. Should I just leave Tidus there or what if Tidus does not move should I move Tidus out of the water. Tidus still has not eating. If he does not do better I will be taking Tidus to vet.
