Runny urate, should I be worried?

Normally Jareth poops well, every couple of days (he's about 5-6 months old so I think this is normal), and its always looking fine, solid with a normal white urate. However, today he pooped on me (ugh, he always does this lol) and the urate was just liquid, it was still bright white in colour though so I'm not sure if there's actually anything wrong or if I'm just overly paranoid. I dust all his bugs with calcium, so I don't think it could be an issue with that (although I'm evidently no expert :) ).
Any help would be really appreciated!

Hello,

That is a normal occurrence. It doesn't happen all of the time, but if they are well hydrated,
they have more of a tendency to have more watery urates. There is nothing to worry about
though.
Does your dragon ingest a good amount of greens, or fluids?

He wont eat greens out of the bowl so I scatter them around his viv and he eats a fair amount, and doesn't often drink water when its dropped on his nose so I try and spray the greens and also some of live food so they have water droplets on them that he then takes quite happily.

I'm glad it's nothing to worry about, thank you!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
