The tortoise may have it buried in the enclosure. Or possibly ate it lol

he probably get more excersise out of his enclosure and that stimulates him to go.. or... he DOES go in the enclosure, but like a lot of tortoises.. he eats it! HA

ewww lol maybe he did try eating dog poop outside one time but i stopped him, must be fast cause i never see any in there.

I've only found poop in my enclosure once
I believe they know their schedule pretty well and poop accordingly. I just popped in at an irregular time & robbed them of their snack.

Yep. I rarely ever see poop in my cage. They always eat it. Always.

But man, as soon as they go outside they turn into little pooping machines.

This happens with mine too! I don't mind as I think it helps you monitor the consistency!! Ha ha I'm getting like Gillian mckeith!!!
