Poopy habits?

[Yellow Turtle01]

I've recently noticed that my sliders 'like' to eat their poop? I feed them every day, and if they eat it all, they always get more. I make sure everyone gets some. They get meat additions, and vegetables four times a week. They regularly eat their cuttle bone... Are they missing something?

Sometimes turtles just eat poop haha can't really do anything to stop it that's just one of those wild instinct things. The only thing I can think of is if they have worms or any parasites in their poop and they are eating those.

My tortoise does it to. It's disgusting. I feed him all the time though.

I don't think they do. My two females just went to vet recently, and nothing showed up

I've never seen my tortoises doing it
It is kinda gross, and I can't imagine they actually like to eat it!
