One time maybe about a week ago my Tortoise passed greenish colored urine in a bath. Usually his poop is slightly greenish in the bath and was wondering if the urine was green because of the poop? I know that sounds confusing. I just took my Tortoise to the vet about a week ago and I think it was before that that he had green pee. I read that it could be liver failure and other very bad things but he seems fine. He eats very well. I don't think he is lethargic although he does nap sometimes and burrows but most time he just basks. I am very concerned about the green urine. I am hoping it is just that I feed him green foods? I feed him dandelion greens, kale, bok choy, and collards. Any responses are much appreciated because I am very concerned. Could it possibly have been green diaherra?

I really doubt there' s anything to worry about. The feces and urine are usually colored due to what the tortoise has been eating.
