I am a geochelone sulcata tortoise who had been diagnosed with metabollic bone disease (MBD) on Jan. 28,2012 soon after my bestfriend, Koopa died of complications due to the same disease. I have changed my diet and lifestyle since. This blog was created to document how I survived and how I progress through the rest of my happy life with my humans in the next 100 years. You can also ask me about anything under the sun -- even about human stuff :) In the meantime, this is my story . . .

Whitish Chalky Substance in My Wee
Every once in a while, I expel this whitish chalky substance along with my wee. Don't panic =) This whitish chalky substance is is metabolized protein, which I sometimes expel along with my wee in the form of urates. Keeping myself well hydrated by soaking for 10 minutes everyday makes it sooooooo much easier for me to detox myself of these semi-solid, white deposits. It's a good thing that Liza takes time to prepare my soaking tub everyday with slightly warm water =) Here's a tip on how to save on electricity when heating your soaking water: When it's bright and sunny outside, leave your soaking tub of water under the unfiltered sunlight for at least 15 minutes, and voila! You have instant warm water =)
