Is the one eating? seem normal? Are they together or seperate?
Its possible one has a different look and you arent recognising it, or it may be getting eaten.. yep.. gross, but they do that.
How large is the enclosure? Easy to find?
Mine go every day, sometimes more, depending how much they are eating. There are times its not daily.. some are small and compact, some are long, all depends what they have been eating. Mazuri makes is softer.

Hi glendab63, do you soak your sullys? If you place them in tepid water for a nice soak (seperatly) hopefully you will see poo. If they both seem normal then I would not be too concerned as Laura has said it may be being eaten. Each tort like any animal has its own rhythm. But if one is out of the norm, lethargic etc. I might keep a really close eye on him and perhaps get him checked for impaction. How long have you had your 3 year old?

they sleep apart and usally eat apart ,some they eat together,but the grazing pen they are together,the 2 year old poops every night in his bed,but I've never found poop in the 3 year old bed.and I check the grazing yard and never find poop in there either.I can't really get either of these to eat dry diet,I have adopted both of these ,they were destine for the animal shelter.I give the roman,red leaf ,catitis pads, weeds,good weed of course chickory...and they graze all day

He's probably pooping and you just don't see it. Also, sulcatas DO eat poop. Do you notice either one of them has a sort of black face?
