Ok, so you all know that feeding too much plant material would give a turtle diarreha, but people said you have to give them some plant material everyday! I haven't seen one Serra poop that was flaky and stuff...

I'm real confused now.

Is runny poop bad for the turtle? It'd be easier to come out, wouldn't it? lol

How much are you giving her?

It's usually dandelion leaves, romaine lettuce ( sorry, the green-leaf turned all mushy) and water hyacinth leaves.

It's usually the size of her shell, ( not how much would fit in her shell, just the size of it.) the amount of plants she eats.

Sounds OK... no need to worry about it

I just wouldn't give it to her all at once, though I'm not assuming that you are.

Runny poop is more of pain to clean. When my turtles eat a lot of leafy veggies, their poop isn't really runny---it's more fibrous and breaks apart easily, sending bits of brownish leaves all over the tank. For smaller turtles, I try to suction out the poop with a turkey baster asap.

oh yea that's what I mean. It flakes apart into brown leaves...

When I see some poop, I pull out the big red turkey baster, but as soon as Serra sees it, she gets all excited and kicks at her poop and scatters it all everywhere.
I think Orange Juice ( the platy) helps clean up the tank a bit and his poop isn't as flaky.

"she gets all excited and kicks at her poop and scatters it all everywhere. "..

lol, that sounds like it would be a sight!..

and the turkey baster is a great idea!..
adding that to the list..

im sorry, but i do not understand when you say "I think Orange Juice ( the platy) helps clean up the tank a bit and his poop isn't as flaky."...i was just curious

oh Orange Juice is a platy, which is sort of like a guppy. (small orange fish) He poops in long solid strings which is easier to clean.lol

ohhhh....haha..im not really familiar with guppies so that went over my head!.. i thought you were talkin about cleanin the tank or something with Orange juice..but nevermind..and thanks..lol
