hey, i don't know how healthy your tortoise is otherwise, but if it is doing ok then passing both solid and liquid waste is fine. i find that when they are soaked they usually release both. mine eat a mixture of drier and wetter foods like dandilion greens and other forage and zucchin, squash or cucumber, and they tend to take most of the water they need from the food they eat, although i always keep water in the enclosure to keep it from getting bone dry and dusty indoors, and also have it available outdoors. about once a month or so i might catch one of them and watch them drink. when they do they drink for ages and usually excrete a large amount of solid and liquid waste afterwards.

peace good luck
