In February I got a rescued male Redfoot believed to be 8 years old. I have yet to see or find any solid poop. Should I be concerned?
That is a really long time for the tortoise not to go to the bathroom. When you say you've seen no "solid poop", does that mean the tortoise is having very loose stools or does that mean you see no stools at all?
Second, are you sure you aren't missing it? It is possible the tortoise is eating his own poop as well, which might mean you seeing nothing.
Are you soaking that tortoise daily to see if it helps him go?
Give him a nice long soak in warm water... in my experience that seldom fails to produce a poop among my torts.
I'm assuming he eats OK, or that you would have mentioned that as the primary problem.
