Thank you for replying!To me their smell is great. I have watched Opo smell down some other small animals poo. He is like a hound dog. When he was young he had soft spots on the plastron. Just keep a eye on them. Put him in the hide now and then and he might catch on. Also if the temperature is to cool he wont like it. Try to keep it above 80.
I used a liquid spray vitamin. But now I use mazuri tortoise diet.Thank you for replying!
I will definitely keep an eye on her.
What about the dust/vitamins?

I saw that liquid spray. Was tempted to get it instead, but didn't.I used a liquid spray vitamin. But now I use mazuri tortoise diet.
You are going to end up feeding him mazuri. So I would start now. I just bought a bag of it at a feed and seed store.
Yes mazuri has what you need. When Opo was young I bought some tortoise pellets. He didn't like them so I gave up. Many members talked about mazuri 5m21. So I bought a small bag online. Soaked the pellets to get them soft. Then mixed it with shredded zucchini. After 3 feedings like that I just soaked it and fed it to him without mixing with zucchini. He loves it like most tortoises. I ran out and just bought a 25 lb bag. It should last me for awhile. I will have to put it in zip lock bags and store in the refrigerator. I only feed it to him 2 or 3 times a week. Only 5 or 6 pellets at a time.I saw that liquid spray. Was tempted to get it instead, but didn't.
Does mazuri have plenty of the same stuff?
I feed rainbow a variety of greens, hay, grass, flowers and I just bought some tortoise pellets. Can't remember the name. I soak it bc they're so big.
I have calcium, not sure what you mean by RHP. Yes, I soak him every day.Yes mazuri has what you need. When Opo was young I bought some tortoise pellets. He didn't like them so I gave up.

Do you give RHP calcium? Do you soak him in warm water everyday for at least 1/2hr?
