So I haven't wanted to ask because I feel like I am doing something wrong. We are new to having a Russian tortoise and I have read a lot about them through out the years. I have soaked Mikey twice in the past week that we have had him and both times he seems to have bad diarrhea. We took him outside to take in some sun and he pooped, wasn't eatery but was not dry by any means, it was mushy and a dark green color. I figured it looked normal. Came inside and gave him a good soak but he immediately pooped and it was a huge mess. Got him out asap washed him off got new clean water put him back in and again poo everywhere so I'm trying to get him clean so he doesnt have to go into his house all dirty and pooped and he keeps pooping so I clean him with an old t-shirt and put him in his house. He went and hid immediately so I left him alone for the rest of the day he came out last night and I apologized to him and he came up to me with what I call hungry eyes because I assume he's always hungry. So all in all my question is if it's normal for it to seem like he has diarrhea when I soak him?
