Mucus in poo?

[Syn]

Well I walked by my veiled's cage and smelled something bad. So I looked for the poo.. It landed in some water, but it's not solid and the urate is runny..
(couldn't have been there TOO long, I usually notice right away)

Anyways, it looks like there's mucus or something like it in there, as well.. any idea what this could be? I can't get a picture, didn't think of it, I already cleaned it up.

Have you been feeding silkworms? Silkworms can do that to their poo.

 

[Syn]

No silkies, no horn worms, either.

Just found a piece that stuck to a leaf, it's pretty runny as well.

 

[Chase]

What are you feeding it?

 

[Syn]

Crickets and dubia. Had to pull one out a few days ago though because it got hooked on his mouth.

It could just be from the water. How often does he Poo?

Would take me less time to fill it out again

That's what I was thinking until I found some on one of the pothos leaves and it was runny as well.

I don't really know how often. Either I clean it up right away or my mom does and I usually see it every other day.

 

[Sang]

he could have gotten a really juicy dubia, the more plump ones do contain more fluid then a cricket typically would.

 

[Syn]

I suppose that's possible, the dubia love their carrots..

 

[Chase]

Just watch him and his poo. If it gets worse, contact a Vet.

 

[Syn]

*Shrugs* Alright. Was just wondering if anything just popped out at anyone, like if anyone has had the experience before.

I've seen it before with my male Veiled. It went away, and he's fine.
