First off I was wondering if i could use Scott's Organic Compost mixed with playsand for a safe substrate??
Also, my russian tortoise has been acting weird lately.
He is still eating normally, but he sleeps pretty much through the day.
Sometimes his eyes seem watery as well. I have him in a tortoise table with coconut bark. But I dont think he likes it which is why I want to change it.
But this morning I built an outdoor enclosure and he was very active in it.
To add, I was checking out his shell, and on his belly (underside of the shell)
I found a patch that was soft and I was able to push on it and I could see liquid inside it. I recently bought him from a store and he is about 3 years old so i do not know if they took proper care of him. I am trying to keep him healthy with calcium supplements, dandelions, clovers and UVB.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
