Hi. I just
file:///Users/lftilbury/Desktop/IMG_0847.JPG
a Gopher Tortoise. My Uncle found her somewhere around the everglades in 1968. She has lived in his apartment in Manhattan for the last 50 years. My Uncle died in December. His best friend sent him to me. She is very sweet. She hadn't been outside in almost 50 years. All she eats is carrots, so she poops orange.
Today I had her outside, and she pooped out a sponge. about an inch-and-a-half little square. I looks like a makeup sponge. OMG!! How long could it have been in there?? I do not use a makeup sponges.
She did eat some grass today and also eucalyptus leaves. The vet said to get her diet more rounded.
Any suggestions on how to get this little thing to do that?
