Ok, this is going to sound a bit bizarre!
My 4 month old baby sulcata, Nodder, suddenly smells like a barnyard animal who has joined the circus!!!
My husband tells me I have a very strong sense of smell, which is true, while I tell my husband his nose is for decoration purposes only- -so I thought I would seek out a more knowledgeable opinion.
Also, it's not poop I'm talking about, it's his shell I smell(which I softly brush during soaks).
As of the last 5 days, I have started adding a little TNT on his food and that is the only change I have made. I feed Spring mix with a very small amount of grassland tortoise food sprinkled over it, cactus and other weeds as well. He also gets Mazuri 3 times a week with a sprinkle of calcium.
Also, his enclosure is kept very clean and doesn't smell.
Is this shell smell normal and what is it? Such a large odor for such little guy.
Thanks for helping.
