Gut impaction

[bogart20]

I haven't really seen my tort poop in a while. Today he pooped a little bit. And I mean the tiniest bit.

Maybe it could be gut impaction.? What are the signs of gut impaction? And how is it cured?

Usually the tortoise will stop eating and seem very lethargic. If you put him into a large (floor space-wise, not height-wise) tub, like your bath tub, add warm water and just leave him there so he can get lots of exercise, scrambling around, trying to escape. This will probably cause him to poop...a lot! Keep checking on him to be sure he doesn't tip upside down. Maybe shine a light on the tub to help it stay warm.
