good to hear. well done ! I would avoid 'greens' if it's the spring greens type as they can be high in protein , try stick to weeds, check some good ones out on the hyperlink to tortoise table or failing there are other shop bought bags of lambs lettuce, crispy floret which do have some beneficial snacks (http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/p...0#.WN0OZJV1rX5

Personally I wouldn't dose up if fine or getting over it as the tort will need to get immune up on own, however keep up with the bathing abidec and also I bath mine in carrot baby food added to bath - it puts back the Vit A lost under the UV lights. But if you read abidec, I appreciate its for a different purpose but it also has big Vit A added to it so that may have done the trick. I know I am at odds with a lot of thinking but I have noticed Vit A can be stripped by UV lights but it may not mean they are deficient but symptons sometimes suggest otherwise. Keep the baytil for another time . CB
