I have had my tortoise for almost a month now. When I first got him and for the first 2 and half weeks, he always relieved himself either while soaking or while eating. He never did it while I held him or any other time. Just over a week ago, I added soil to his enclosure (he was living on newspaper when I first got him). Since then, he has started relieving himself everywhere, multiple times a day.
Also, now when I pick him up he pees on me, but before he wouldn't do this and would even fall asleep on my lap.
Thoughts? I feel like now he is nervous, but does changing substrate really affect them that much?
