Pee question!

[kaitiejane]

So today I did the usual soak for my tortoise but he will only go to the bathroom if let him walk around on a towel to dry off after his soak. Today I let him out to walk and this was in his pee so I was wondering what it was/ what caused it.

The white stuff is normal its called urites and it means ur tortoise is well hydrated

Looks like urates to me as well, by golly!

Urates are extra things they don't need like calcium. They have poop, pee and urates. Is this the first you have seen it? How long have you had your tort.

Yep, good and normal. You will want these to stay creamy, like tooth paste. It will let you know your tort is well hydrated. If they get hard or chuncky, soak him more.
