poop

[gholmes]

How often should I expect my Jackson to poop? It scared me the first time.

they can poop everyday or they might not poop for several days. There is really no set schedule. It depends on how often they eat and how much.
What scared you? Seeing the poop? lol

i thought it would be smaller lol and then the pee. that scared me. i thought she was sick. what do the colors of pee mean? like red? yellow?

they kind of just go when they need to. It's not like they have a schedule.

ideally the pee should be solid and white. It should never be red. It may be orange or yellow. Orange suggesting they are dehydrated and yellow meaning the same but not quite as bad.

Pee should be bright white. Red or yellow mean dehydration. (not 100% sure about red...but yellow means not enough water)

Hope this helps....I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in...

thanks! I had researched chams but did not think to research their poop and pee ahead of time.... its not something you think to do. What if she doesnt seem to drink water then what? spray her?
