Drinking after hibernation
Posted: 04/01/2009 by tortoise7

Hi
Molly still hasn't wee'd yet. She has been having 2 baths a day, and has been drinking, this is her 2nd day. She has eaten a few bits but seems to gag abit after about 3 -4 bites. She seems well in herself and quite strong, and not showing any signs of lethargy associated with dehydration. Is this normal?

Hi Jane,

She might be passing water in the bath without you even noticing, it's often just a small gush of water - hardly noticeable.

If she's active and there are no signs of her straining then I'm sure evrything will be ok

Hope you're well otherwise

Hi

Just to let you know that Molly has done a wee this morning and passed lots of healthy urates, and she has a good appetite so far. Perhaps I can sit back and relax now and just enjoy my two lovely torts. Click and drag me down to the editor

Great news, Jane! Why do they treat us this way, giving us all this worry and hassle -- do you think it's payback for us starving them prior to hibernation? :-)
