Its eyes are bright and its nose is dry. It will eat and drink readily, and enjoy being soaked in warm water. Tortoises' stools are dark and formed. Their urine may be clear in part. White chalky deposits in urine are termed urates and are normal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood intakes will be less than optimal when animals are cold, sick or stressed. Low food intake is unhealthy for your tortoise and will increase its susceptibility to serious disease. Ensure that the humidity level and temperature is appropriate for the species and observe for stressful conditions. Factors that may stress your tortoise include a cage that is too small or too cold, recent shipping, and dehydration from infrequent soaking. If low food intake persists, consult your veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rep-Cal","offers":[{"title":"12.5 oz","offer_id":47736535908658,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 lbs","offer_id":47548571648306,"sku":null,"price":24.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/1994\/9362\/files\/product-media-349947.jpg?v=1770494854","url":"https:\/\/petcenteronline.com\/products\/copy-of-rep-cal-calcium-with-vitamin-d3","provider":"Winchester Aquarium \u0026 Pet Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
