Hi once again everyone,
Okay sooooo.. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or what but what is a torts pee suppose to smell like? For the past 2 days I think my baby tortoises pee smells a little weird and bad. Now I'm not sure if it was smelling like that from the start as yesterday is when I noticed but he normally pees in the water that he soaks in so when I tried to smell that it did not smell like anything. I ended up thinking it was him. Today is when I confirmed and realised its his pee that smells like that cause he peed in a container without no water. It wasn't clear pee. Slightly yellow. Since yesterday I've started to think about everything and noticing things than worrying. I felt like he looked a little puffier but his morning it had gone down. I dont know. I'm scared and worried. I really need to know what normal pee looks and smells like. Please help.
He's mostly been normal and active. However he kind of had diarrhea today. I didn't feed him just for today to take a break as I think he may have been eating alot/over feeding for the last week. As well as that I read somewhere to have about 2 starving days for torts so I decided to start today. Thinking of doing Saturdays and Wednesdays.
Other than that I took him out to bask in the sun for about 15 minutes today and he was super active. I think I'm overthinking but please can someone help my mind to calm down.
Thank you for your time and replies.
