Hello! I Have two greek tortoises (i hope i am not mistaken haha!), one is about 1 year old and the other is about 3 months old. The older one is called Joya. And the little one is called Amelia. Both females!
When we first got Joya she used to be a very clean tortoise. She used to bury her own poo and be disgusted from it and stay away from it. But recently, I guess after she got constipation that one time, she isn't minding her own filth anymore. On more than one occasion she has stepped in her own poo and pee and even put her little hands in it and started basically putting her poo everywhere and i want to know how i can fix that issue since it is becoming a real problem for all of us.
On the bright side though, she RARELY does no 1 or 2 outside her box when we put her on the ground. She does no 1 only when i feed her after 5 pm.
As for Amelia, I am having problems with her poo schedule. She keeps pooping on me when we are just chilling outside the box at all times of the day. We thought at first that she is just a baby and she is scared but we have had her for a month and a half and we thought she really got used to us (enjoying scratches and rubs now) but this is still a very common problem although it has gotten a lot less than before. So anyone has any ideas about how to deal with this? She also doesn't mind stepping in her sister's poo. Yuck!!
I appreciate anyone helping me with this!! Thank you so much.
P.S. the attached file is a picture of Amelia sleeping
