how often should my tortoise be pooping?

[theelectraco]

I have a 4 inch Red Foot who I have had for two weeks. He has only pooped twice, is this normal? He had a bm two days after I got him and.about 5 days after that. He is eating twice daily on collard greens, mustard greens, dandelions and dandelion leaves. He gets soaked once a day. He does not poop during soaking either.

He may be pooping more then you know and just eating it. About how much is he eating each day and what temp is he being kept at?

 

[jtrux]

I agree with Jacqui, he probably eats it. How long do you soak him for? They should go daily, usually twice, at least mine does.

Temps are important as well as exercise....perhaps you may want to soak him a bit longer? I would venture to say a half hour of a warm water soak at least--would be good...
