::How do you know if your turtles are pooping or not? Someone mentioned that maybe my more 'laid back' turtle might be constipated. I never see either one of them poop and never see it in the tank. They are just about 1-1 1/2 inches diameter. Is this wierd? i leave them in their feeding tank for a while after they eat and still nothing.
:I have four juv eastern box all are 2" or less. Following a good routine is best. First take a tupperware, or whatever and put about a 1/4" of luke warm water in and soak the turtles for at least 15 minutes. Sounds like they may not get enough water. What are you feeding? Do you see them eat? Is it warm enough where you live to take them outside for some sun? You would definately see or smell if there digestive system is working properly even when they are small. Usually they will evacuate when they are soaked. Even my adult boxies outside like to get into the water and soak in my shallow pond areas for this purpose.
Sorry forgot I had jumped to RES forum. I have four of those as well. You should still see formed stool from your babies. I assume you are keeping them in a tank where they have access to water or land all the time? What are you feeding?
