I have recently noted my NGSN (E. Novaeguinea) turtle eating her feces immediatly upon its release. She feeds strictly on a variety of six to eight different pellet foods and shows no sign of interest in fish at all???? I put feeder guppies in there months ago and all they did was reproduce from 6 to over 40 fish. I had to remove them from the enclosure. Her shell length is easily close to six inches now and she currently resides in her own 38 gallon aquarium (not forever ).....is this normal or a sign of a deficiency? I am more of a snake guy and have no really serious experience with turtles for like 15 years or more...HELP!!!!
