Amount of wee/ urates

Jillyp · 25-03-2009, 08:35 AM

Darwin has just done a normal poo then the biggest wee including the white stuff. I've never seen so much - is this normal? I've wondering as they are eating copious amounts of dandelions at the mo.

Apologies for my paranoia

my torts vary day to day one day it will be hardly and in the water next day it will be chocker with urates and poo, just keep an eye on things and feed them a proper diet!!!

One of mine did one that was huge. I had just weighed it then it done one so I weighed it again out of interest and it was something like 10g and it only weighs around 100g.
Too many dandelions are not good. they are diuretics so will make them pee loads and become dehydrated.

Apparently it's dandelion stalks that are worst for this.

EDIT> The white stuff is normal but the less there is of it, the closer they are to the best possible diet
