Well my star tortoises staple diet is cucumbers, carrots, coriander and leafs of carrots and sometimes hibiscus leaves and romain lettuce. For almost a week I mix cucumber carrot and coriander together and feed him. He always poops dark green but today he pooped orange.

Help please... Thanks

That's just the carrots coming out.

In my opinion, you're diet needs to be adjusted. I don't use carrots as much as you seem to. Also, I limit the cucumber to a small treat every so often. Here's a list of foods you can choose from, but don't choose the same thing every time:

I feed carrots and cucumbers together so is it possible that carrots come separately... I am changing the diets. He only use to eat cucumbers in the beginning then I started mixing it with other veggies and teaching him to eat other things too...
