Poo

[abbie227]

Maggie has just done a very slimey greeny poo. Is there anything I need to do other than keep an eye on her poos? Shes been eating mixed weeds that i grew from seeds from the shelled warriors shop, the odd dandelion leaf and basil leaves x

Well! No advice to offer from me, but you sound very relieved. I should imagine she is feeling more comfortable too.

Not sure the basil leaf is a good idea, but I could be wrong.

Tortoise Table site says no known side affects. I know if humans it is anti inflammatory I think. You would have to eat lots. Good news on the poop - have to now aim for little herbie like parcels ! I would make a note of date and portions eaten and work out when next one due. After a couple you can usually predict but all torts are v different so what one does wont be the other but one most of mine I can usually predict to the day / and or after baths etc. Well done Maggie tortoise !

All her other poos seem browny and solid but my other half tells me that its coz theyv dried out and they are usually green and slimy. I caught her mid poo today and it freaked me out haha was worried it was abnormal but shes happy x

Tortoises poo should be hard and black.
Usually if its green and runny, it could be either too much salad foods, eating something they shouldnt or an infection of some sort.
