Hi I live in South Africa and have a Leopard Tortoise. I just went out to feed her and it looks like she has her intestines coming out her bottom. She is walking and eating.

Hi and , are the 'insides' still out? If they are and will not go back in, then you must take the tortoise to a specialist tortoise vet, as it may have a prolapse that needs putting back inside. If it is only 'flashing' occasionally and the organs go back inside, it could be that you have a male tortoise that is 'flashing' his penis. Perhaps if you could take a photo we may be able to tell. Please let us know how you get on, regards Vivienne | |
