well i didnt notice anything at first but today when i was cleaning out my new sambava's cage i noticed his first poop since ive had him and it was semi runny and also the poop that is normally white was a orangish color, i was wondering why this is happening and also what i should do.


thanks, thomas

If the sambava is the same one that you posted a couple days ago, it could be due to the care the previous owner. If I remember one eye was sunken in. This could be due to being dehydrated. The orange poop could mean a couple things, but dehydration is one of them. Keep an eye on the poop to see if it continues to be orange. Has the one eye gotten better?

yes he is the same one i posted about earlier. okay i will keep track
im guessing the previous owners werent very good they only had a clamp lamp on him and a dripper(which wasnt even being used) and he had dark colors on him... but when i turned his dripper on one visit i walked by on my way out and he was visually brighter and looked more alive then he was barely 5 minutes earlier.. pet shop horror story in the making so i just had to save him

lol sorry for rambling on there

oh and also yes his eye has been gettin fairly better he's been opening it more often from what i noticed and he seems to be a little more cheerful too and has been getting brighter everyday.
