welllllllll.... long story! the cliff's notes of it is that she was as the vet said "too well cared for" and is overweight/oversized for her age; this he believes is why she hit sexual maturity so soon (she had ovarian stasis, which was the case of her weakness and why she was spayed). also her liver is fatty, so she's on a "diet"... never thought i'd have to count calories, especially for a tortoise!



but she's doing much better and has perked up over time.



junior says: "thanks for the compliment!"
