Hi,
Speedy has been on the mend since his suspected RI in early October, I have since moved him to a tortoise table in the greenhouse, the temperatures at much more stable off the ground and easy to maintain. Basking is 32-35c ambient 25c and cool side at around 20c ( he is a Mediterranean spur thighed and is 13yrs). So I fed him a piece of pumpkin the other day a very small amount as a treat and I believe I have found it thrown up in his night box ( smelt like sick) could this just be an intolerance to the sugars in it he’s had it before with no issues? His poos are looking fine and solid and he went a day ago. Am I looking at something serious here? I can take him to the vets if needed however is it better to keep an eye on him for a couple of days as he did not react well to the last vet visit. Other than that he is eating and stomping around fine.
Thanks for the help
