Hi guys,
I have a poop question. I JUST got my Russian tortoises two weeks ago, and the first time I soaked them, they pooped and peed A LOT in the bath. Since then, I have been soaking every 4 days or so, but no more poop! I check their enclosures and I don't notice anything, but I know Russian tortoise poop can be kind of watery in general (not like pellets). Is this normal? They are both active and eating. Do you think they are still just adjusting to their new life? Before I got them, they lived on a diet of romaine lettuce and tortoise pellets they sell at the pet store. I have been giving them spring mix, some collard greens, and they each have an aloe plant in their enclosures. Do you think they are getting used to the new diet? I don't want to overthink this too much! Any advice would be great.
