Has your tortoise been eating loads of dandelions lately? They can sometimes turn pee pink.

Not really dandelions, mostly romaine lettuce but some purple lettuce and spinach.

How is your tortoise acting? Is he active and eating?

He is eating consistently and I try to take him outside at least twice a week to roam around. I think he seems pretty healthy but he has been sleeping more than usual lately.

Okay, thanks so much!
Looks like very gooey urates to me.

Yes, they were less gooey last time I saw it.
It's urates, explained here: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/what-is-this-white-stuff-my-tortoise-pooped-out.70277/
The pink tinge is from what he's been eating.
