General Care Discussion :: My turtle poops all kinds of stuff

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:31 am   My turtle poops all kinds of stuff

We were moving last week so I places my RES in a 20 gallon temporary tank with couple inches water. She stayed there for 5 days before I set up her 90 gallon habitat today. But ever since she moved to the small tank I have noticed shes been pooping different stuff, sometime like regular poop, sometimes whitish fatty tissue (greasy), tonight I saw couple of jelly balls, like raw egg white,... I'm so puzzled, what are these stuff? What is she doing?

I'm not sure what you're seeing. What have you been feeding her lately?

She has not eaten anything since she moved. I fed her some pellets and some dried shrimp the night before the move

When you moved, how was she transported? Plastic container? Box? Was it lined with anything?

Just in a 20 gallon glass fish tank with couple inches of water. I had to change the water every a few hours because she frequently pooped out something. One time I say her squirted the white fatty tissue.
Now she is in her regular 90 gallon habitat but still refuses to eat anything. Its been nearly a week since she ate her last meal.... It worries me!!

Doesn't sound too good. What have you been feeding her?
