I recently bought a 1.5 year old leopard tortoise. The guy said he fed him greens, mazuri tortoise diet, and squash and what not. But he came to me with some pretty serious diarrhea. I have been feeding mostly grass with collard greens, mustards greens, arugula, dandelion leaves, etc. the guy keeps telling me that his change in diet (which if he is telling the truth shouldn’t really be a change) and his new setup. This is my first tortoise and I don’t know if stress from being shipped and in a new environment could really cause this diarrhea. I soak him every morning until he poops and he constantly has fresh new water in his enclosure. He also came with a nick on his underbelly and this guy is trying to tell me that him and all his clutch mates had that “birthmark”. What do you guys suppose it is?
