No matter what, as long as a turtle pellet contains fiber, the turtle will poop. If it lives well, basks well, eats well, swims well etc. well, it will poop. Yes, turtles eat their poop. This usually is a good sign. The poop contains lots of leftover undigested nutrients and serves as a treat for the turtles. If its a bad sign, it just means the turtle is underfed and malnourished.
