I feed her mixed lettuce! I find it hard to find other things for her to eat! She has been off her food lately though.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a little bit of help, my tortoise did a strange looking poo today! (See picture) any advice what could be the problem?

She seemed to get better and back to normal until...
Thanks for the advice!

I will bath her everyday to get her health up too [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
