hi all,
this is an unpleasant photo so I apologise.

this was my 1year 8month old hermann's poop today, in his daily soak bath.
there's a lot of bits of grass and it doesn't normally look like that, he usually does normal poops so I'm a bit concerned.

he has an temp outdoor enclosure that I've been putting him in during sunny days where he has access to some grass 24/7, is he eating to much on his own?
it also smells quite bad, whereas usually they don't smell.

all replies are appreciated!!!

It's fine. One normally does see bits of grass in the feces. It doesn't completely break down. That's normal.
