1 point to @JoesMum. I found a small chomp taken out of some fresh feces. Just to be safe I removed the sticky Dracaena plant and currently on the watch for fresh feces. I'm determined to reduce staining! So next question. She's a little over 3 years old... why is she still eating her feces...

Went home and gave her some carrot. Got some more pictures. What does everyone think? Staining or something else?

@JoesMum, Yes, good point. I find whole feces frequently but it doesn't mean she hasn't gotten to a few others. @Pearly, great idea. I'll try dangling some food above her. She open real wide for food (and fingers). Suppose she does have any strange ulceration like changes, what would they look...

How will you access them through the enclosure? Through a sliding door in the front, hinged on top, or something else? Just make sure to have someone at a hardware store (lowes/home depot) score and cut the Plexiglas for you. Or else you'll spend a ton of $$$ screwing up and making jagged cuts...

Can't see the image either, but I'll make assumptions. Between my RES and my Redfoot, I've used.... - Aquarium rocks from general pet stores ($$) - River rocks from Lowes ($) - Decorative pebbles from art stores ($$$) Make sure to cleanse them of chemicals first! - Smooth river rocks for...

I tried soaking the poop in a warm water and over the course of 12-24 hours the white material dissolved completely (so we know it's water soluble!). It wasn't quick like a powdered drink, it took much longer. I found some other bowel movements inside her home, but they appeared healthy and free...

Excellent idea! I'll report back with my findings.

Hello Everyone, Just some background info for the tortoise we're talking about today. Name: Capri Species: Redfoot Age: 2.5-3 years old Enclosure: 4' x 2' x 18" Substrate: Soil base layer with surface cypress mulch Plants: Two spider plants, two snake plants (mother in law tongue) Water bowl...
