Please help me. White matter in stool

[Lakposht]

سلام. من یک لاک‌پشت مورمیس کاسپیکا دارم که حدود ۹ ساله ازش نگهداری می‌کنم. لاک‌پشت گاهی اوقات این نوع ماده سفید رو دفع می‌کنه. اما این دفعه یه فرقی داشت و اون این بود که برخلاف دفعه‌های قبل که نرم و آبکی بود، این دفعه سفت و گوشتی بود. این چیه؟ ممنون از راهنماییتون. برای شما و لاک‌پشتتون آرزوی خوشبختی و سلامتی دارم

I will tag @zovick here. I am understanding that the consistency is making you think that it is not urates?

That looks almost like some cotton or a piece of a paper towel, but I doubt those things would go through the GI tract and come out looking lily white the way this item does.

In my opinion it is most likely just urates which are harder than the ones you are used to seeing.

Is the turtle acting normally or is it sickly? If it is acting normally, I would not worry about it.

تقریباً شبیه پنبه یا یک تکه دستمال کاغذی است، اما شک دارم که این چیزها از دستگاه گوارش عبور کنند و مانند این شیء به رنگ سفید سوسن بیرون بیایند.

به نظر من، به احتمال زیاد فقط اورات هستند که از آنهایی که به دیدنشان عادت دارید، سخت‌ترند.

آیا لاک‌پشت به طور طبیعی عمل می‌کند یا بیمار است؟ اگر به طور طبیعی عمل کند، نگران آن نخواهم بود.

Thank you very much.

Hello. Thank you very much. The turtle is in a controlled environment. As a result, it has never been naughty or eaten a tissue. I am sure.
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with it. But after a few weeks to a month, it will no longer be like this, as it is now, when it is calm in its place, eating and sleeping! It will only move around for about a month, as if it is looking for something. During this restless period, the turtle will not eat food. After a month of restlessness, it will calm down again. It has been like this for about two years at this time of year. Do you think it is sick?
I thought that maybe it has eggs and wants to lay them, because I had read on the Internet that some female turtles can lay eggs on their own. As a result, we took pictures and there were no eggs. I think it has reached maturity and is looking for a mate. If I see it doing this again this year, I will have to release it into the wild. This white stuff was expelled last year after his restless period was over. Of course he still expels it from time to time, but in a very small and watery form.
This may not be true and may be funny: is it possible that this is the same thing that my turtle would have been advertising for eggs if it had a mate? But since it doesn't have a mate now, it expelled this?
If any part of the text is unclear, please let me know so I can explain it further. I use Google Translate. Thanks again

That's OK. I used Google translate to get the meaning of your post.

I am Armenian personally, but don't speak it since becoming an adult, and was never taught to read it. Is your Persian the same as the alphabet used by the Armenians to write Cyrillic? I really don't know.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think Iranian Persian is the same Persian as you say.

Hello. I have a Mauremys caspica turtle that I have been keeping for about 9 years. The turtle sometimes excretes this kind of white substance. But this time there was something different and that was that the previous times it was soft and watery, this time it was hard and meaty. What is this? Thank you for your advice. I wish you and your turtle happiness and health

Please, if possible, other friends can also guide me.

What have you been feeding lately? Any changes in diet? Is it possible that the turtle has eaten something it should not?

اخیراً چه غذایی به لاک‌پشت داده‌اید؟ آیا تغییری در رژیم غذایی او ایجاد شده است؟ آیا ممکن است لاک‌پشت چیزی را که نباید می‌خورد، خورده باشد؟

I usually use sera food.
(raffy p , raffy mineral, carnivor nature)
I don't think he's eaten anything else. Because he's in a completely controlled environment.

For the same reason you asked the same question before.
This happened a year ago. Not a week ago or today.

That is strange. Your first post in this thread with the photo of the white matter is dated May 21st of 2026. How would anyone know it happened in 2025?

And I don't have any idea what you mean by saying I asked the same question before.

Yes, that's right, it happened about a year ago. I didn't know there were sites like this on the internet, otherwise I would have asked right away.

As I said before, I use Google Translate. There may be some mistakes in the translation and it will distort my meaning.

Now I'm really worried about what this white thing is.

Now I'm really worried about what this white thing is.

If it happened a year ago, how is the turtle now? If it is still living, then I would say there is no need for any concern a full year after the event.

Or has it been happening off and on for the whole year? If so, and the turtle is still alive, I don't think there is any problem.

Yes. The turtle is healthy and well.

Well, that is good. Apparently then, you have no need to continue to worry about the turtle.

Good luck with it.

Hello again. A few days ago, the same thing happened again. It seems to be a seasonal thing.
