Hey thanks Danny think all sorted was worried after changing my tort to a table and then his substrate to topsoil/sand he wasn't eating very much have been bathing him daily as usual but after reading some posts I made it warmer this morning and to my surprise he passed a very small stone and the gates then opened

he then marched to his food bowl and ate the majority of what there lol am hoping that's it sorted now

Fingers crossed
Thanks for being willing to help tho much appreciated

Danny

He's been having some tort friendly weeds from my garden and topping up wiv some florette crispy salad as they getting a bit short supply now have just got a seed mix from s.w website and will be getting those planted as soon as poss

any other ideas on diet? Dusting this daily with nutrabol

Chrissiealso a quick question do u think he only had a nibble of his substrate as it was new ? He's never eaten any before that I've seen am hoping he's not going to make a habit of this behaviour!!!!

I'm rubbish with names I still have to look up pictures all the time as scared of getting it wrong I'm still having to look up pictures all the time as I'm unsure what's safe and what's not could do with a pocket friendly booklet with pictures really lol some broad leaf plantain I think its called? Chickweed ?

**egyptiandan64** · 31-01-2014, 12:04 AM

Yes dandelion when I can find some don't have any in my garden but the is a small green near me which I go a hunting on just don't really like it as there are a few cats in my area and foxes also so am wary about their poo/wee I will check out the link thanks although to my very untrained eye esp this time of year it all looks the same to me but I will learn! Lol

Make sure you don't feed dandelion more than once a week. The stone that was passed was a calcium oxalate stone made from calcium and oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is found in a few plants like dandelion, chicory, spinach and chard.
