Is it normal/safe for my RES turtle to eat its own poop?

Q: I leave my turtle in its feeding bucket for about 30 minutes and then put him back in his tank. He always poops way after his feeding time and then eats his poop!

A: Ive never had that problem. Maybe he is still hungry? Try feeding him a little longer and remove any “poop” if you can. Try using a fish net or something. Get some feeder fish in the tank. My goldfish usually eat all the droppings. And the turtles let them and no longer try to eat the fishies. I don’t think it is really bad for them but I wouldn’t advise just letting them. It shouldn’t be to bad but you need to make sure the tank stays clean. They can get sick from swimming in that type of thing and they drink their swimming water too. Try to keep it really clean at all times. Its hard but worth it! Good luck!
