Default Poo.

Just wondering, what consistency should tort poo be?

I ask because I am not sure if Beast is a bit loose today, but she had just walked through it smearing it everywhere, naughty girl.

it depends on what they've been eating so can be from firm to soft, if you think its to runny then check the food before worrying to much, obviously richer/high water content foods will make the poo runny where as high fiber will make it firmer.

All tortoises poo if fed the correct diet, should be hard and black:0)
When fed on junk foods all the time such as lettuce, then the poos will become green and soft:0)
