hi everyone, we have just bought a new friend to our female tortoise Sophia for Xmas, unfortunately they fight. however, there is much more bigger problem-Sophia's new friend, Gerrard, 5 years old male, who looks healthy, active, never scared of people, eats normally, drinks normally-has a smell. actually, i would say he stinks a bit. we feel that smell when we enter the room where is his varium. im really responsibly cleaning the varium, changing the food, bathing both of tortoises every day and etc.
there also are two things i have noticed:
his first stool/poo was from wood he used to live in (now he lives in sand)
the smell of him doesn't change after washing him
i have noticed that tortoises have a certain smell when they are afraid of something. for example, Gerrard smells more after Sophia's attack.
i don't know what to do, because nobody had that kind of problem,right?
any ideas?
thank you in advance.
