What temperatures are you keeping her at?

Does she smell like old dog food?



I keep yellow foots and if I feed them “too much” meat and do not keep them warm enough it sometimes ferments in their stomachs (They are a little sick for a day or two) and they will throw it up. (Often into their water dish). I have since installed a heat lamp and keep them about 2 to 4 degrees warmer. When they get sick on meat – they also tend to smell like old meet (Not really off meat – but more old meat).



I would feed your tort mainly on vegetables and grasses until she gets a little better (when she is back to her normal self).



Good luck
