Both. Lots of water content so if they eat a lot you might see runny pooWould that be a safe on the plant or the flower or both?
Why are soaks out of the question? What have I missed?Well I think soaks are out of the question for Mikey so I will give him stuff like this so I don't have to soak him.
It seems to me like he gets really bad diarrhea when I soak him and the more I try to clean him off the more comes out so I don't want to hurt him.Why are soaks out of the question? What have I missed?
I agree with joesmum. It's common for them to poop during soaks. This also means less poop in the enclosure. What kind of tort are you feeding if I may ask?Soaks are essential to maintain hydration.
Your tort must be soaked.
You just need to ensure that your tort gets enough roughage (fiber) in his diet. His poop will be loose from time to time; it's not diarrhoea (an illness caused by bacteria or a virus). He will be fine.
He won't be fine if he gets dehydrated. Soaking is essential
He is a Russian tortoise and my concern is he pooped outside yesterday and we came in and I soaked him, not even 2 minutes went by and his water was super green and had poop. So I took him to get cleaned off and gave him new water and as soon as I turned my back more poop. I did this another two times and both times more poop. I don't want to make him sick and I definitely don't want to freak him out so I just put him on an old clean t-shirt and hurried up to get his enclosure cleaned up to put him back. He immediately burrowed and hid for the rest of the evening.I agree with joesmum. It's common for them to poop during soaks. This also means less poop in the enclosure.

Yay this makes me so happy.The top one is a type of mallow. Totally safe, and a good tortoise food.
Vety true. It's still edible thoughCorrection to the ID above: it is Hylotelephium spectabile
While they were once called Sedum, they are not closely related, and were recognized in the 1970's by this name
