Soiling food...bad mood or rubbish food?

[katfinlou]

So ive just given belle her dinner, she came charging over like a bull at a red flag and promptly peed and pooped all over it. She's never ever done this before. Is this normal, do other owners torts do this, or is it her way of telling me what she thought of her food? She actually seemed quite angry, ive never seen her like that before.

Seems to be normal lots of tortoises do. No one is quite sure why they do it, many theories abound. But yes a lot of them seem to do it, and enjoy doing so.
