Lately, Faijai, my turtle stopped eating. We changed pellets awhile ago, and im not exactly sure is that the reason. We tried dipping the pellets into tuna water. He bit it , then he spit it back out. I put some shrimp in there, and he doesnt seem to be much interested as he used to be. I fed him some tuna and he seems to like it. Can turtles actully be picky eaters?
About 3 weeks ago, we had a black sponge basking area. We noticed they began biting the sponge. So we quickly took out the sponge. We saw some black sponge in its poop. I still see some sometimes. And also, we had some calcium tablets, it was suppose to disolve in the water. We noticed the turtles biting it , too. Later we found some white stuff in its poop.
Today after i fed Faijai some tuna which he ate, he pooped green poop. Im not sure if thats normal or not, but our pellets are yellow and red and the tuna is a peachy colour. Shrimp is orange-ish. The poop was not solid/stiff. It was kinda stringy-ish.
Before, the poop was brown and was awfully long. Now it seems to be smaller, way smaller.
What may be the problem?
We had him for about a year now. We got them last year november. He's around 3 inches long. Please help suggest something. Thanks
