If you use the search facility for Pink Urates it throws out a lot of posts on the subject which may help until someone with experience of this comes along.
Do you soak him?

Pink urates are generated by food items....dandelion is not the only food that can generate pink poo....if the tortoise is acting normal, business as usual, then I would not worry...
