Looks like they're not getting enough of the correct minerals in their diet. Here in the States we have a product called Miner-All that helps them to not eat dirt and rocks. If you have access to Amazon.com, maybe you can find it there???

I struggle to find these in Greece! I tried once to order from Amazon but for some reason it says we can't deliver in Greece! My problem is that I can't let them outside now alone! I don't know if its enough to take them 1 hour everyday under my surveillance and exercise with sun!

It's not the lack of sunshine, it's minerals they need. Do you give them calcium?

Yes! 2 times per week and 1 time multivitamins! Should I give them everyday mulberry leaves? Or cactus? But these are always eat them with zoo med grassland food!

It's not easy to find in EU. Arcadia Earth-Pro seems to be a decent alternative.

To make sure they poop out the stones, you need to take the same steps you would if a tortoise had constipation.

• Feed foods with a lot of water, like cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini, or aloe vera.
• Give them long soaks (40 to 60 mins, keeping the water warm) in a container with enough room to move in.
• Feed them mineral oil rolled up in lettuce, and you can even carefully lubricate their cloaca with a Q-tip dipped into mineral oil.
