BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Okay, so this is a really bizarre question but do bts eat their feces?
My cousin has one, and she says that sometimes it eats it's poop!
Just wondering if this is normal...
Thanks!

I know there are a lot of animals out there that if not fed enough will eat their own poo out of desperation and hunger.

I've never seen a BTS eat their poop, it isn't normal!

Welcome to the forum, where in Canada are you?

Usually, no, but it is not unheard of. Some BTS do.

Thanks for the replies! I'm in Toronto Ontario

Another Canadian.

mmmm fecal material

Ahhh....coprophagia; such an engrossing subject.

As for the OT portion: those living in N.A. don't understand the awful inconvenience when blotchies want to take over your backyard. They even have the audacity to have their babies and leave them behind.

ive seen them do it,also seen wild blueys,eastern and blotcheds eating dogs poop,dried out poop,the blotch was going to town on it,giving it death shakes

Usually when animals eat feces it's because they are at least partially malnourished or missing vitamins they need.
