Thanks,I was woundering if the Vet (front desk people)gave me the wrong stuff.What is the difference in the two? Some of the adults look dehydrated by the end of winter.They stay active and eat during most of our mild winter but seem not to like the chilly water.I force them to soak at times and often see them drink.I'm judgeing this by the look of their eyes.The menbrane around the eyes are not as plump or full as I like to see it.I do worming and blood work but never see anything to alarming.Romain,and cantalope are offered at the time of these observation.Could it be some other reason they would look this way.Its hard to get a pic of this with my camera,but i'm sure you have seen it.Its not savere like a real sick tortoise,i'm just trying to keep it from getting that way.I was trying not to have to inject them to often.I'll pipe in warm water if I have to.Thanks in advance.
