The white stuff is urates, a waste product from protien. They'll pass some urates a couple times a week under normal circumstances. If it happens more than 2 or 3 times a week, you have too much protien in the diet. Urates should be liquid-like, or soft like toothpaste. If they're hard or gritty, soak the tortoise, because its dehidrated.
