    I think somethings wrong

    My Tort Is not pooping and the last time he did poop it was like a light greenish brown and it almost looked like stringy. I can't post a pic because I threw it away. I am feeding him watery goods like heart of romain and some cucumber, to encourage poop.

    Not eating all his food

    My tort is not eating all his food, like he will eat his food but only like 75%. I don't think I am feeding too much. Also I don't think this is a big deal, but every time I take him outside it looks like his whole body is throbbing.
