They are huge and will go wherever they want to whenever they want to. Definitely agree that a lot of the bowel movements are performed in his sleeping hole. Makes difficult to clean it up.
It makes great fertilizer. I put dry, partially decomposed pellets on all of my citrus and tropical fruit trees. They act as a slow release fertilizer. When left in the enclosure it decomposes and becomes fertilizer. It doesn't seem to burn the grass like some fresh manure can. I also collect some and put it in a large black plastic pot like the ones they sell young trees in. If covered with a little soil, it will convert to a very fertile soil that can be added to vegetable or flower gardens.TerriTurtle said:This thread has got me thinking... Is tortoise poop a good fertilizer? If they are pooping copious amounts in the front yard, is this actually good for the grass? Does their pee tend to kill the grass?[/align]
