Green poop?? Help!!

[laurajm91]

Hello everyone!
Help needed!
I am a new tortoise owner and I have had Tiny Tim for about 2 weeks now and love having him (at least I hope it's a him).
The diet he was on in the shop was green veg etc, and the other day I ran out of veg for him due to a leg injury i have just picked up and couldn't leave the house, so fed him the tortoise pellets, for 2 days (he has never been on these before) and I have just noticed that His poo was a brown colour at first (when on veg) and only today when he was taking a soak in the bath he pooed and it was a dark green colour, it wasn't completely solid, just a tiny bit runny.

Is this normal?
Am I doing something wrong?
Could it be Due to diet change?
Is a vet visit in order?

I'm very worried, all help and advise would be much appreciated!
Thanks guys

I would suspect it the change of diet. Just to be sure, keep an eye on it. Of course, you just may have a colorful tortoise. Adding a little humor, to help you to relax a bit. At this point, there is nothing to worry about in my opinion.

It is probably just a sudden change in the diet?

Sounds normal.

just watch out for the pink, orange and polka dot poo..... ewwww

change in diet intake will likely cause change in that diets exit

If all else is good, then I would not be tooooooo concerned, but IMO, I would as soon as possible get him back on the food items you want him eating and that are better for him in the long run

As long as your tortoise is still active and eating then don't worry too much.

Thanks guys, I've got him back on greens and his poop is brown again. Panic over! I can relax now. Thanks again.

I've seen some greenish poops from my two as well, nothing to worry about x
