Tortoise and Poop

[shawngt2]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone noticed that it seems the redfoot saves his poos (LOL) until he's out of his enclosure? It could be a coincidence because my little one super relieves himself once he's out.

The stress of being moved can trigger elimination, which would be normal. Other possibilities would be that the humidity/hydration outside is better, or that it is indeed eliminating in the enclosure but is eating it (which is also normal, but yucky to humans).
