thanks are normal vets no good?

No most vets have no clue how to treat a tortoise. Even ones who state they are good at tortoise care are rubbish.

imported_Lowe · 06-08-2006, 07:28 PM

Sadly not, they don't have the specialist knowledge needed for tortoises since in general they're not a popular pet.
