Hello guys, i joined this forum a few days ago

I'm from South Korea, and have a baby leopard tortoise

I brought her( just my hoping) 2 weews ago, and I took her to hospital, and she was infected by parasites( Her feces's color was white )

So I gave her some prescribed medicine every day.

Now, she eats a lot, and doesn't have bad smell from feces

Hello and welcome. The white stuff is not feces. It is urates. I mention this because it is an indicator that things are too dry and you need to soak longer and more often. The parasites would be a separate and unrelated issue.

Over and over I type up and answer diet questions and try to get people feeding the right stuff, but I find that the "norm" is grocery store food. Grocery store food is expensive, a hassle to obtain, and very low on the list of what is best for sulcatas. These tortoises are GRASS eaters. From...

Hello Tom. First of all, thank you very much for your kind reply. I raised the hermann tort for about a year, so I know what the urate is. I wrpte it's white but in fact, it is close to yellow. But I'm still a beginner and your answer really helps. I will read the article that you wrote for me to stay with the tort for a long time.

Urates can be yellow, greenish, brownish, redish, pink, gray, etc... Many factors can influence the color.

Wow! I guess the herp vets know what each color may mean, and how to go from that indication. I would think that pink or reddish would mean bleeding?
