Hello!
Last week we bought a baby Hermann's tortoise. He's about 2" long, seemingly very healthy. We got him from a great breeder at the cincinnati reptile show. So far he's active, eating a ton, and pooping. We've only had him a week and we give him a bath every day and he's pooped a total of 3 times that we've seen.
Is 3 times a week too little? When he pooped it was solid, the first time it was a dark brown the second time it was a dark green. He's on a diet of kale, collard greens, a couple baby carrots, and Rep-Cal tortoise mix we got from the breeder. We are in the process of trying to find plantains and dandelions, but being in the city we can't find anywhere pesticide free to collect dandelions, and no store sells plantains. Is his diet causing him to be backed up? Or is 3 times a week normal provided he didn't go more somewhere in one of his hides. Thanks!
