It means your tortoise has been too dry and dehydrated and its passing a lot of urates.

What species and size tortoise have you got? How are you housing it? How often do you soak it?

I soak it every day and it's an Indian star tortoise

How long have you had it? How are you housing it?

Urates are the by-product of protein digestion. French beans are very high in protein, and should not be fed to most tortoises in large amounts or very frequently. What are you typically feeding your tortoise? Should be mostly the right types of grasses, weeds, leaves and flowers.

I usually feed it french beans, lady fingers, yam etc

Have you checked out this guide? It gives a great list of foods to feed. I’m not sure what is available in your area, but this could help you.

These are not the right foods for this species.
