Answer 1

have you changed the diet recently or been feeding too much fruit? usually a change in the diet or too much of the wrong thing will cause diarrhoea, med spur thigh are quite a sensitive tortoise with their diet and a good natural weed diet with lots of fibre will help, if you are feeding tortoise pellets then stop these as they are quite high in protein and contain a fruit content, which can sometimes upset the tortoise,, if your tortoise has been looses for a few days then just feed some fresh grasses as the fibre will help firm your tortoise up, stop all salad in the diet and feed lots of clovers grasses and dandelion your tortoise should be ok with in a week but if it keeps having diarrhoea then take it to a vet and get a f***s check done, but usually it is down to something they have eaten
