desert tortoise with first slight pink urine

I have had my two desert tortoises since they were
under one-years-of-age. There fifteen-years-old now
and have been very healthy. For the first time today
I noticed that one of my tortoise's urine was a light
pink color. I also am so confused on what toxic
plants not to feed them. I read two different
articles. One did not put down impatients as a toxic
plant, so I have fed my tortoises these flowers.Then
today I found an article saying do not feed impatients
to desert tortoises "poisionous." Could this be the
cause of the slight pink tinge in the urine?

Thank you,
Christine

Pink seems dangerous to me. There could be blood in the urine.

But the best advice is to see a vet to be sure.

only feed any food to your tortoise in moderation, if urine keeps at a unusual color you will need to see your Vet, notice if there are any other changes as well.
