Gravid female jackson question-

[opihiman]

My female jackson gravid now about 4 weeks, just yeasterday let a poo go with very orange urates. This is the first time this has happened as she gets adequate water from 7 - 5 min misting cycle per day. (lots of cycles to help control temp level in viv).

She has otherwise had perfectly white urates. Although I haven't checked her today yet.

I am wondering if this is common for gravid female Jacksons.

I can see as the babies get more developed, the demand for water and waste elemination will go up too. Is that a logical line of thinking?

do I need to change something?

I wouldnt worry too much yet, just make sure she is drinking plenty of water when you are misting. My jacksons have had orange looking urates in the past. I just made sure i misted until they drank enough and if i cant get them to drink for some reason let them soke up some steam when you shower.

Just checked on her today and her urates are back to white...

Will being gravid cause occ orange urate?


Thanks
