Sadly one of my 2 one year old tortoises has died this morning.
I went to feed them like usual and noticed Layton sleeping (?) and got worried as he wasn't moving.. Picked him up and all his limbs were out and his eyes had like, dried up? They were sunken in and I've seen this with rodents so assumed he had died. I noticed under his tail a large white/yellow clump like the size of a peanut out his butt.
I don't know what happened but it looks like this was the cause :-/ I am heart broken but luckily his sibling is fine.
Just wanted to know if this is common? I think he ate the substrate (coco fibre stuff and soil) but I'm not sure :-/
