Hello everyone.. My tortoise Poopoo trained himself!
I provide an enclosure with 85% soil/compost and 15% Fir bark for my Elebaba. Previously I used newspapers and reptile carpet and he would just poop all over as he pleases.
Now, I've separated the soil/compost and fir bark in the enclosure. Fir bark occupying just a small section in the corner. I noticed that he walks straight to the fir bark section and poos there. I thought it was just coincidence as he still pees in water or in the soil, but making an effort 9/10 times to walk all the way to a corner covered with fir bark just to poop? Interesting isn't it? haha
