I've had my sulcata tortoise for 2 weeks now, he's a 16 inch 40-50lbs tortoise. I havent had a chance to get an accurate weight on him. Today he pooped, this is his first time since we've had him.
His previous owners ONLY fed him veggies and lettuce. So they told me that his poop was very Watery, smelly, and green. We've changed his diet to a small amount of lettuce, some veggies and a couple of pieces of fruit every few days.
So like I said! This was his first poop, he has successfully pooped solid, black and wet looking poop. This is good right? I read another thread saying that that's what it should look like.
The problem is, they had him in cedar bedding; which was changed immediately. But after his initial poop. He's been pooping out cedar chips for about 10 minutes now; not straight, but, it's a little discerning. Should I be worried? I mean, he's pooping a lot of cedar pieces.
