Turtles do not like to shit in clean water, but are stimulated after changing water, thus promoting their defecation. If you want to avoid shitting after changing water, you can put the turtle in another place to soak it, wait for it to excrete, and then put it back into the tank. Usually the turtle's droppings are strips, and the color is related to what it eats. They are usually gray or black, but they may also be red or green.
2. What is the cause of tortoise diarrhea1. Food is not clean: Tortoise diarrhea is usually due to eating unclean things. Although it is an omnivore, it can't be fed with everything. Turtle food is better, but it should be preserved to avoid its deterioration and mildew. If you feed live food, you should choose what you raise artificially, and don't feed the caught animals to it.
2. The water temperature changes greatly: Tortoise usually lives in water, and the temperature change also has certain influence on it. If the temperature difference is too large, it will also cause diarrhea. In view of this situation, it is necessary to pay attention to heat preservation at ordinary times, especially before and after changing water, and the temperature should not fluctuate too much.
3. Infectious diseases: When turtles get sick, they also have diarrhea symptoms. The common disease is enteritis, which is a common disease, which is generally caused by poor water quality or improper feeding. In the daily feeding process, we must pay attention to the cleanliness of food, and at the same time do a good job of cleaning.
