My res eat his feces , it's okey or not ?

He eat all feces ( pellets and greens ).

Thanx

Being opportunistic eaters and being captive in a tank, some turtles will eat their own poop (a gross fact of turtle life). If your turtle is healthy, there shouldn't be a problem. You might want to use a turkey baster or net to suction it or take it out when you see it. It would help keep the water cleaner.

Yes, they do eat their poop sometimes, LOL. It's normal.

My RES do this sometimes too. It's perfectly normal.

I finally caught Donatello eating poop this morning. She looked quite pleased with herself too.
It's disgusting, but normal.

I saw on of my smaller turtles eat some off of one of the filters yesterday. lol.

I sometimes do that... I mean my turtles

Yes they do! They will just about anything that they can get down. One of mine ate some carpet I put down on their basking area and I had to extract it from it's rear end with tweezers. Yep anything!!

Yep -- They will eat their own poo. They will also eat their own scutes. They will eat almost anything; even rocks. b.
