Hi,
My Russian Tortoise is four years old. We're pretty sure he is a boy. I have noticed that often after he excretes, a slightly gory, liver coloured faeces-shaped thing comes out of his tail and shoots back in. Is he 'flashing'? It looks to me like he does it by accident because it only comes out after he's been to the toilet.
Is this definitely flashing and nothing to worry about?
He seems very young, so is it possible he's doing it by accident? He shoots it back in as quickly as it came, so does not seem like he's really making an effort.
Are there any other distinct signs male tortoises could exhibit (e.g personality changes)?
Could it be prolapse? He's definitely not in pain.
I would appreciate some confirmations!
Thanks
I would appreciate it if someone could reply, because he's just done it again!
Thanks
