I just put a small amount in, enough to very faintly discolour the water.

That's a great tip for anyone with similar issues?!
I guess it might aid drinking too because of the salt content?

Can't understand marmite baths ! I have given my bearded dragons power aid baths that works a treat for them but never heard of marmite

Well thought i would give it a go as i have a three year old terrestris that has not been eating much and seems to be very picky with what it does eat must admit i was a bit skeptical but it seemed to work within an hour of its soak it was eating like food was going out of fashion

I rescued a tortoise and she was in a bad way, I used daily baths of Reptiboost and she didn't drink it but took it in via her cloacia. If using this method remember to wash it off after as it can get sticky on the shell.

Not too certain how good marmite would be if there was any hint of an eye problem connected to the lack of appetite
 Ouch!!
