Needs to see a Vet. ASAP.
Omg... that’s not even a little and looks very serious. please let us know what the vet says and I’ll be hoping the best for you.
Your little tortoise's body doesn't have much blood in it. That amount of blood coming out is quite serious. He needs to see a qualified tortoise vet ASAP. It could be that he has swallowed something that has cut him inside. An X-ray should tell the tale.

Went to a vet and he gave the tort initial diagnosing. And said that its maybe a bacterial infection(more like diarrhea). He gave me Belmindazole (antiprotozoal/antibacterial) for the tort to take for 7 days. i had a hard time finding a vet who specialized in tortoises.
So glad you found a vet. I hope the treatment works for your tortoise. Good luck to you both!
So no X-rays?? Is the tort still passing blood like it was? Does it seem improved? Sorry for all the questions but I’d really like the details please..

No x-ray done. But i will get her an xray soon. The vet say if it happens again they will get blood samples and xrays,and just observe. It's been a couple of days without my tort passing blood. Shes still active roaming around and eats fine. just waiting for her to poop.
Oh wow. That's good. I'm surprised she seemed so unfazed by it all.
I’m just glad to hear he’s better!
