Perhaps the tortoise has some parasites irritating her gut and causing the loose stools. I would recommend taking a stool sample to a good reptile vet and having it checked for an overload of some type of parasite(s).What should red foot poop be like?ours is always soft she’s 22 years old and eats 99% fresh greens carrots cucumber very little fruit a little orange slices once in awhile our Herman’s always solid same diet??
Great thank youPerhaps the tortoise has some parasites irritating her gut and causing the loose stools. I would recommend taking a stool sample to a good reptile vet and having it checked for an overload of some type of parasite(s).
If no parasites are noted, try changing the diet to one with more protein and less cucumbers and greens.
Great thank you

Pinky mice, chicken giblets, really lean ground beef, and even a good quality moistened dry dog food. I used to feed mine Gainesburgers back in the 50's and 60's. Don't know if those are even made any longer, though.Not sure what I did so many thank you ha what type of protein would you recommend?
Check if temperature is too low so the rf is having a digestive problem. If this is the case, raise temperature and give probiotics will cure the loose stool.What should red foot poop be like?ours is always soft she’s 22 years old and eats 99% fresh greens carrots cucumber very little fruit a little orange slices once in awhile our Herman’s always solid same diet??
