My tort searches out poop in the yard. Is there harm if they find it and eat it? I have 7 dogs, 4 cats and a big herd of ducks and chickens... there's no end to the poop. Hopefully there won't be much inside the enclosure but we try to take him out a couple times a day to graze other pastures.My neighborhood cats used to crash with my tortoises whenever it was cold or raining., No problems with that, but they also pooped in there and my tortoises started eating the feral cat poop. It was then that I put an end to it and eventually walled up and put a roof on my primary pen.
