Watery poop

[Popcorns17]

I have a Russian tortoise my question js there any reason my tortoise would have watery poop. Nothing in his diet has changed or surrounding it just randomly started. I usually soak him twice a week. It also is extremely smelly.

What does the diet consist of?

Even if you haven't changed the foods, if your feeding a lot of store bought greens (they have high water content) your tort is bound to experience watery stools.

Mostly spring mix for now

it could be diet related or health related parasites perhaps

If the diarrhea continues for more than a week AFTER you've changed his diet a bit, you should have him checked for parasites. I can't tell you how many torts have died because of parasites not being detected and treated. But, try the change of diet first. I would use Grassland Tortoise Food with a bit of Mazuri and cut up fresh grass. This should bind his stool. I would also try and start growing my own greens instead of store bought stuff.
