Okay, now I am concerned. What is a URI? They have decent set up. 100 degrees to 80 degrees heat varients in his enclosure. Diet consists of mainly greens (romaine, dandilions greens, collards), some fruit but not too much (canalope, kiwi, mango, tomato). I also use the Quantum Farms supplements with every meal.
Thanks, Stoli


: From what my vet has told me, bubbles around the eyes is one of the first signs of a URI.. He told me that if you ever suspect your tortoise has a UPI, hold it upside down for a few minutes at a 45 degree angle, if bubbles appear around the eyes you can bet he does... Anyone else ever hear of this.....
