what the heck??

[Lrptls]

my red belly already isn't the brightest turtle in the world, he ocasionaly swims into the glass and dives off his turtle ramp in the worst place, where its right next to the glass, so he'll run right into that. But today he did one of the weirdest things i ever saw an animal do. He eats like a horse, i can never feed him enough, every other day he gets turtle pellets and every day he gets bits of anacharis plants, he also gets meal worms and crickets at times. And hes constantly hungry, he'll even eat his own poop. But what he did today was much weirder... I believe its male turtles that put their hands in front of their face and tickle famles with their claws, and i believe it has somthing to do with mating, well i caught him doing that to his poop. He continued to do it for about 2 minutes when i moved him up on his ramp and scooped the poop out with a fish net. Why the heck would he do that?
