Hi! I have a 7month old red foot tortoise and I noticed she has been passing really creamy light brown poop that has a yellow tint. Within 10 minutes she passed four bowel movements of this type and color. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what this could be and how I can help her in the meantime while waiting to see the vet.

Hi, I have limited medical knowledge of torts but are you sure it's poop and not urates?
My tort's urates can sometimes be off colour depending on what he's eaten.
What is his diet?
Unless your vet is a tortoise specialist you may get more answers here but if you do go take a sample with you.
I'll tag some more experienced members who may be able to help @zovick @Yvonne @Tom @ZenHerper @ZEROPILOT

Poop is usually directly related to what was eaten.
What have you been feeding?
What have you been feeding?
I feed her a mix of arrugula, red/green butter lettuce which i rotate. For protein I give a small portion of boiled egg or a super worm with dusted calcium. For vegetables I rotate using zucchini, carrots, or sweet potato.
For fruit I give raspberry and mango that I rotate. Every day she gets fruit, greens and the protein is once a week. As a meal toper I use the flukers tortoise cuisine (The vet formula). The other day I gave her a peice of baby bella mushroom for the first time as well. I give her fruit every day while the vegetables are every other day.
