So.. I may have found a useful way to aid your tort is getting over it's constipation. Turtle had been blocked up for a while, but within the past week I started adding increasing amounts of collard green leaves into his food. He usually doesn't like to eat them, but I would provide him with mostly that so he would have no choice. Just this morning (exactly one week after starting the increased collard leaves) he was able to finally go #2.
If anyone ever encounters constipation, give me a hand with this theory and try it out. Post your questions/Comments/Results here so everyone can get updated. Thanks and good luck!

Good theory. All that fiber and chlorophyll has got to help at least a little, although too much would probably cause excess gas, bloating ad pain. The chlorophyll will help with any bad breath that he may have too :p I'll have to remember that if turbo ever runs into this issue.
