Tifa's poops have seemed a little more watery than usual lately. It's happened before but is more noticeable this time. She's also been more regular, becoming a daily pooper again. It's one of the first thing she does every morning and she seems eager to do so. As soon as her viv warms up she starts doing her dance.
She's 14 months old and I've been working real hard to get her diet to 50% veggies as she's always been really stubborn about eating her salad, and its been working but I thought maybe the dietary changes have been adding to this situation.
Wasn't really worried about it until the other day, I left her alone the for a few hours and when I returned home, I found what's pictured below - dried remnants of a massive liquid discharge of some kind, smeared all over the place. She'd already pooped that morning and I didn't find any feces in this one, just this chalky mess everywhere. (note some of what you see is pieces of her shed she was finishing up)
I'm kinda sorry I missed this event.
The following few days had fairly normal looking poops in the morning but definitely still excess moisture, the worst being today when she once again went two times, the second one looking like so:
For the last week+ her bug diet's been mostly dubias and the ocassional supers, and her salad is mostly carrot greens, collard greens and squash. All foods she's very familiar with. I haven't been stuffing her with hornworms or anything lately that would explain all that moisture. She was getting a couple more baths a week than usual but I always do that when she's shedding and they're pretty brief. Her tank's humidity is rarely above 45 degrees. I'm at a loss.
I'm really curious what that huuge mess was the other day, and how concerned I oughta be about it. Is this something that definitely warrants a fecal test? Couldn't find anything very comparable searching around myself..
thanks as always
