Hi Guys..

wondering if this feacrs is normal?

usually and quite solid but since changing diet its been a greyish colour.

she has been having Komodo tortoise food, as i have been struggling to get weeds and thought this would be a good alternative to the salad she was having and she began to go off the salad.

she appears fine and is well hydrated just wondereing about her stools

its a grey green colour not liquidy quiety solid

I attach also the food she has been having

It isn’t unusual for poop to change colour with diet... and pee too (dandelions can turn pee a rather alarming pink!)

I don’t see anything to be concerned about.

I used Komodo for years, but as a supplement to greens. Ideally Joe ate only garden weeds, but in the early spring and late autumn they are hard to come by so I used Komodo as a supplement with store bought greens.

The weeds are starting to come back now so it won't be long before you'll be able to have a nice fresh supply.
I still use bagged salad like Florette Classic Crispy to bulk out the weeds if I can't get enough of them as they have a good mix of leaves.
Tesco are doing a nice bag called Nightingale Farm Crispy Salad Mix which is only about 59p and it's very similar to Florette and half the price.
Variety is the secret to keeping a tortoise interested.
