I still don't see "protein deficiency"
What I do see is some puffiness which is common when a tort has been malnourished and dehydrated then starts eating better. Nothing to worry about.

Yeah, I meant the puffiness. I thought that explanation (the "protein deficiency") was little odd sounding, even without pictures. ::)

Ash,

;D

My male started getting puffy like her now I'm more inclined to believe Joe that it's just coming from a diet change to the appropriate diet and constant water source.... I'm so happy they ate today!
