Eating poo

[Kalgodric]

Bohdi seems to be eating his poo and the cocco coir substrate.
Is this normal?
Is this a sign that he needs something else in his diet?

Perfectly normal. Some do it more than others. It's said to improve gut flora. Don't worry about it.

I have found that if mine have enough of the good stuff to eat then they won't eat poop but it is normal...

My little sully sometimes eat his eco earth substrate. Especially when it's fresh. I haven't seen him eat is own poo. But it seems like it's normal. I wouldn't worry about it

There is a lot of good fiber and other nutrients left in there, because they do not process all the nutrients out of it the first time through. One of mine does it more than the other one, I just try and pick them up before she can get to them.

I give Cooper a bath every other day and he seems to not poop in his habitat that way.
