He is eating consistently and I try to take him outside at least twice a week to roam around. I think he seems pretty healthy but he has been sleeping more than usual lately.How is your tortoise acting? Is he active and eating?
Okay, thanks so much!It’s most likely urates but with a pink colour, if every thing else is pretty normal with him, I wouldn’t worry too much. Let’s wait for some others to chime in
