Question

Star Tortoise
Hi, my friend told me that my star tortoise's shell is big because of having too much calcium. Is it true? If yes, what should i do? I'm very worry abt it

Answer
Too much calcium is no a problem as long as the tortoise is properly hydrated- the excess calcium will pass in the urine.

I am not sure what you mean otherwise- 'big' in what way?

You can talk to some great Star Tortoise keepers at http://www.tortoiseforum.org if you have any follow-up concerns.
