Some tortoises will eat their own poop or even that of others. This may be happening here. Btw, have you read Toms post below in my post for raising healthy and smooth sulcatas.

Give them a soak in an area that they can move around a lot. The moving will help to get things moving along. Make if warm water and let them stay in it for 20-30 minutes, keeping the water warm the whole time.
