Pooping While Sleeping

[vrenee1018]

Hello All:

I hope everyone is doing well! It's been a while since I've been on. I do have a question/concern. Maybe a concern because my Tampico has never done this before, but it could be common. Within the past few weeks she's gone to the bathroom while sleeping. And they're pretty gross poos. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone and if they can give an insight. If a trip to the vet is warranted. Just want to make sure my little girl is okay.

Thanks for anyone's anticipated response.

Hello,

Well, that usually is not normal. Even though she is sleeping, does she move away or is she
still laying there?
Is her beard black? I would consider getting a fecal done on her, to be sure she doesn't have
a heavy load of worms or parasites. What kind of diet does she have currently?

Hi Tracie,

It looks like she moves away from it. Her beard was black once, but as soon as she pooped, she was all bright and orange again. I'm not sure about the second time because I wasn't in the room when it happened. I was considering taking her to the vet to get a check up, but wanted to come here first.

As for her diet, she gets a small amount of dubia and bsfl a few times a week, but mostly greens with squash.

Thanks for the response, Tracie!
