Do you know that turtles usually eat their own poop? As long as your turtles eat,
sleep, swim, and bask well, I think there's nothing to worry about. :)

go to the food and nutrition section and that will give you what they can and cannot eat...

I don't think many people actually see their turtle poop.

I very rarely see mine actually poop, but I do see turtles eating it. Sometimes one turtle will poop, and another will eat it seconds later :S

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.
