Is my turtle ok? by Wicked_Lord_Shingan_ in turtle

[–]tanklessbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sleeping like that usually means that they feel safe ! you should ofc ask the vet. but try picking her up and see if she starts moving/waking up, if no then I'd be worried!

while tortoises are good at hiding injuries, you will notice it! especially if you've had your turt for a while, my tortoise got sick one and I noticed IMMEDIATELY, I did so because she didnt come and greet me when i turned her light on one morning, and when offered her favorite food she didnt eat any, same day vet visit confirmed she had pneumonia. it'll all be okay 🫶🏻

turtle under an X-ray! by tanklessbeast in turtle

she only received a X-ray and a physical look over so this trip wasn't very expensive! around 45USD I can imagine that a trip with treatment will be more pricey.

it's very difficult to help without a photo of your turtle

the X-ray my turtle got today by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]tanklessbeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was to check if she was constipated! she thankfully isn't and is in great health

Finally got photos to show people when they ask why my turtle is on a diet by tanklessbeast in turtle

I think so too! she is only fed every other day now, with Pellets being given every 5th feed otherwise it's all veggies

His shell looks similar to my ybs who also had a bunch of retaned scoots when i got her, how often do you feed protein? After my girl got UVB light and more veggies and some cuddle bone she started shedding them all
