Baby Hermann Tortise poop

[Maridearcos]

Hi,

My baby Hermann tortise (1 month old ) poops when I bathe him and it spreads everywhere in the water.
It is not solid it’s watery brown.
I feed him Romaine and sometimes strawberries and bell peppers.

Does his poop and diet sound normal!
I need help please 😅

Not normal. The diet that you are feeding is not right for the tortoise and is contributing to loose stools. Check out the thread titled "New Members Start Here" for ideas on what to feed and how to properly house your tortoise.

Romaine is OK in moderate amounts when mixed with lots of other healthy things.

Bell Peppers are not good, and Strawberries are BAD for Hermann's Tortoises. Please stop feeding those immediately!
