Hello all! I'm new here and a new owner of a russian tortoise. He is a rescue but he literally found me not the other way around. I'm taking him to the vet to make sure everything is ok but I have a question that goes against what I read about with their bathroom habits. Is it normal or ok if he poops daily? He has an inside tortoise table but I take him outside everyday for exercise and sun. Temps and humidity are where they're supposed to be. I feed him organic romaine, endive, radicchio, dandelions, aloe vera, prickly pear pads, petunias, rose petals, mustard greens, and red/green leaf lettuce. He is active, eats well, sleeps well, and goes to bathroom regularly. But the last three days, he has pooped when I read they poop every 3-4 days. It's not runny but not firm either. I feed him half meals early morning and again early evening. Is that a bad thing? I've learned so much about russians and he really has become the love of my life. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
