I have been extremely reluctant to allow my tortoises outside, because of countless risks of them being outside. Today I allowed a couple to do a little exploring in the yard. I turn away for five minutes, go and check on a tort and she is eating an old piece of dog poop. So much for ever giving them a chance of being outside on their own. They just ate, bathed, and there was grass all around. She also just laid a few eggs last week.
Does anyone have any articles or studies explaining why they do this? Could it be the fats or meats in the dog's diet they are craving? Micronutrients? Electrolytes?
