yes I've seen him drink water, as i said i have the cham a week ago, and the first urine was all orange, and in the photos that i attach, 1 week later, it seem more white.
Urates are looking much better... :) It is normal to see a bit of yellow or orange. Not like the first pic but like in the second. So his hydration level is much better since being with you.
