Hi,
I am new to the forums and hope someone can help me out. My turtle's shell is about the size of my palm and last night I fed him 1 food pellet. This morning, I was going to feed him 2 but I found pure black blobs in his box. I removed them with a toothpick and they stuck to the toothpick. I can only assume this is his waste. I am not sure why this is the case though but recently, we changed his habitat. He used to live in a regular sized box but we moved him into a much bigger box to allow for more moving space. But he seems to like the smaller box more so I move him to the smaller box during the day and back into the bigger one at night since he tends to like escaping from the small box and roaming around the house (caught him under the TV shelf once). Could this be a matter of stress on the turtle from occasional moving box to box or is this a serious health issue? Has anyone else seen this happen with his/her turtle? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice!
Thank you!
