I have noticed Ed's poop is brown - similar to human (obviously a lot smaller!). I thought tortoises poop was meant to be like white pellet kind? | |

I have had a look and i do think this is the urates that have been drained through the substrate then dried in the heat. If at all gritty give daily bathes, the poop does look rather light in colour are you providing a good amount of weeds in the diet and not too much fancier stuff. HTH Elaine | |

Hi Antonio, | |

That's exactly what I meant Nina. Many keepers think they are doing good by offering salad stuff or 'treats' of fruit but all it does as you know is upset the gut flora. You can't get a finer diet for torts than weeds and tort safe flowers. Keep up the good work Antonio! Sorry for the confusion Elaine | |
