  • Title: Post hibernational anorexia in captive Mediterranean tortoises (Testudo graeca and Thermanni).
    Author: Lawrence K.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1987 Jan 24; 120(4):87-90. PubMed ID: 3469810.
    Abstract:
    Post hibernational anorexia in captive Mediterranean tortoises is an increasingly recognised condition. It is associated with increased blood urea and low blood glucose concentrations and dehydration. A theory to explain its underlying physiology is presented, based on studies of the seasonal and cyclic variations in the tortoises' blood composition. Measurements useful for predicting the condition are identified and a logical approach to therapy is proposed.
