Urates

[lowell99]

My 4 month old sulcata always produces chalky urates as far as I know this is from lack of hydration I give him a 15 minute bath everyday and he has a water dish that always has water in it

if it's chalky then he's not getting enough water. Try wetting his food down when you feedhim.

Spritz water over his food every day too.

Oh, sorry David. I didn't finish reading your response. Oh well - it just reaffirms the good advice.

Hello. I had this about year ago with my tort even though I provided him with water and lots of liquid. I found that it stopped when I soaked his greens in water before giving them to him. He didn't like the sogginess but it cured his little problem lower down.
