I offer her pellets but I can't tell if she eats any of it. She still refuses to eat anything but romaine lettuce, & won't eat it if it's got calcium powder on it. She gets a soak once a week & I mist her tank when the humidity get too low I'm working on making a spot with dirt for her to dig, the first run was too deep and she got high centered Itns only been a month but she gets around a lot better now, and bonus it keeps her nails down. We went through packed dirt, reptile carpet, regular cardboard and now we`re using slate tile.

Shes more than likely going to always be like that. Her back legs have some movment but not enough to hold herself up. I took her from a breeder tank to a 4`x 2` disply case converted to a tank & now she moves around like crazy. I couldn't afford an xray but the vet said she more than likely had a calcium deficiency and see if she regains some movement with care and time. Turns out she can't use her back legs and was just sat in loose dirt peeling out till she gives up.

They said "she doesn't move much" but only fed her Romaine Lettuce and never had a uvb light on her. I freaked out because I had a dog who had pancreatitis and gel poop was a sign.Ī little background: I was given this tortoise about a year ago. Today I woke up to her in a little puddle of clear gel. She's eating less than normal, but still eating and has been constipated for about a week.
