If a red-footed tortoise ate poop, it could potentially ingest harmful bacteria or parasites, leading to gastrointestinal issues or infections. While some animals, including certain tortoises, may consume feces for nutritional reasons or to obtain beneficial gut flora, it's generally not advisable for a pet tortoise. If a tortoise is observed eating feces, it's important to monitor its health and consult a veterinarian if any digestive problems arise. Regularly cleaning the habitat can help prevent such behavior.
