Need help identifying possible parasite in feces

Derobmi · Feb 18, 2012

Hi,

I've found these things a few times over the last month. The first time I saw it, he had just had a clean fecal done a few days prior, so I dismissed it, but now I'm not so sure. I found another today and took pics and bagged it. It was separate from his poop on the cage floor, last time there were two stuck in his vent after he pooped.

He is gaining weight, which points away from parasites, I think.

Thanks!

It looks almost like a sperm plug, I'm not sure though, maybe someone else has some imput? :dontknow:

Yeah, I'm thinking sperm plug too. Looks just like the ones my male passes.

Thank you! I've never even heard of a sperm plug but I searched the term and that has got to be what it is. What a relief

Hello,

Yes, a sperm plug, which is relatively common in the males.

How old is he?

Oh dear lord...1st of all if I saw that in Poncho's viv I would have thrown up and had a heart attack all at the same time. (Out of fear it was a bug and knowing I was going to have to touch it) 2nd of all please let my Poncho remain unaware he has a reproductive system. Amen. Lmao!
