It is normal? May 5.5" cherry head eats cuttlebone everyday after she finishes here greens, she eats about 2" by 2" cuttlebone, today when soaking i found small pieces of cuttle on her poop, is it normal?its only two or three very small pieces, am sure its cuttlebone, because i tried to crush it, n its a cuttlebone for sure

How often do you soak the tort? Perhaps allow a bit longer warm water soak and be certain she is well hydrated....a piece from time to time is not a big deal but if you find whole undigested pieces maybe take a fecal sample for check?

I soak them twice a day 15 to 30 mins until they poop, the biggest one has the only one that has 2 to 3 pieces of cuttlebone in her poop, the smaller ones do not have, for two consecutive day she has cuttlebone in her poop, but yesterday poop is very normal already, thanks
