Hi, I have a juvenile indian star tortoise which pooped orange poop while soaking. Is it normal ? He ate his first hibiscus flower last week (pink flower) could it be the flower ?
Sorry it looks like there are poop flying everywhere cuz the bucket is shaked while pulling it.

Well, it could have a little more substance to it (be firmer), but I don't see anything wrong with the color. Try feeding the tortoise more plants and grasses.

Well, I have nothing to compare it too, and you do...but I think it looks ok.

Hi. . stars tend to poop in water & yes it is normal, nothing to worry. As said above... Try to feed natural & give enough sunlight . that's the best medicine .
