Plz help. Not pooping regularly

[ckidd_1999]

So my Greek tortoise has been doing grey the past few weeks. He was eating and pooping regularly and super active. Now he will come out to eat, walk around a little bit, then go back to bed and sleep then come out for a little bit then go back to sleep. He didn't poop for about 4 days then went and it was huge. He is eating fine though and now a day after he pooped last he just pooped again today. Should I be worried? Or am I worrying too much. He will be going in for a vet visits tomorrow or after Christmas regardless because he hasn't had one yet

Try a warm water soak for about 20 minuets. that usually does the trick.

I soak him for about 15 minutes about three times a week

I'd up it to 20 minutes everyday.

My Greeks get soaked 25 minutes a day at 5 days a week minimum ... If its stool is too dense try squash or pumpkin to help regulate it again, once regular check the 'average' temp. Maybe it's just a tad cold as the temps change?

His stools are solid. His temps are 105 on basking spot and 75 on cool side. Where can I get pumpkin? BTW he's a REALLY picky eater.

get canned pumpkin.. NOT the spicey pie filling type...

Like Laura said, you can buy the canned stuff at any store like safeway etc. Or what I do is I have a huge crock pot, i place two medium pumpkins in there & boil them up... You can store or feed once it has cooled....

I will try tht once I get my hands on some pumpkin. He's now doing better. He has popped everyday now and is being super active.
