turtle question

[squishi]

i have had my turtle now for over 2 years but i finaly have to ask th question.
does anyone else's turtle at their own poop?

 

[jack1]

do u meen eat thier own poo?

 

[squishi]

yeah

 

[jack1]

if thats what ya mean , all animals will eat their own poo to gain the nutrients from it ,if needed

 

[squishi]

ok i just wasn't sure if he was an odd one out for doing it.
however he does get calcium blocks on a regular basis and fed all the proper turle feeds frozen and pallet form.
he might just be doing it because he is a gutsake

 

[jack1]

it doesn't worry me i was just wondering if other peoples turtles did that.
i tried feeder fish before i put 40 in the tank hey were all gone in 20 minutes he really is a gutsake

Never seen it before. Maybe you should ask the question on a turtle forum.
