That's only my opinion, see what others think.

I agree totally here.
Also some vets will treat for things that are not wrong. And one of the first things they will do is give a vitamin jab, which in 99.9 of tortoises is totally useless.
Always go for a vet (when their is a problem) by word of mouth for tortoises. As the good ones are few and far between:0)

I will take that all on board. Thank you

I wish you the best of luck in caring for your Tortoise, as the others said don't change the food drastically and slowly introduce the new food etc.

Best of luck and I am so sorry for the greed of others.
