Thanks Robyn, I'll pick up some Vita Sol in the next few days. Can this be found at a regular pet store? (Petco etc)

Hi Katie, I have a Greek that is smaller than most, she is active and eats just not lots. I do keep a close eye on her and she has been dewormed so no bugs. I also soak mine in the same liquid bird vits as Maggie and Yvonne, Vita Sol by 8 in 1. I have found suggestions on the net that say they can lose or not have specific bacteria in their guts that allow them to digest food and get the nutrients out of them like they should and in that case you would give benabac. Its kindof like us eating yogurt. I just started her on it so we will see. Also the Jackson Ratio is for all Testudo's including:

I am eating yogurt for a long time .,This is one of my favorite food but I always said to myself is my size and weight change or not.,
