Runny Poop!

Postby tbcorbett » Sun Aug 01, 2021 10:54 am

I've read up a few other topics with similar issues to me but never could find an answer I was looking for to my issue :(

For the past few days, my skink's poop has been on the runny side! She's pooping once every day, and normally her poop would be that long cylindrical mass, but now it's just kinda like mushiness!! I read it can be a diet change that causes it, but I haven't changed up her diet at all.

She's getting Repashy Bluey Buffet, turnip greens, butternut squash, kale, and peas. No issues eating and she's already had a fecal, with confirmation she has zero parasites!!

The bluey buffet is somewhat mushy, could it be what's going in is just coming out equivalently? I'm getting kinda worried since it's been a few days!!! :( Her temperament hasn't changed. She basks just fine, sleeps well, loves to burrow around in her tank and even seems to enjoy coming out with me now. I don't know what could be wrong!!!! >.<

Any help is really appreciated!!

Hi, my guess is just the diet. I have had some skinks get runny poop on Replashy. I wouldn't worry to much especially if you already know fecal has been cleared for parasites. Hopefully it will clear up in a few days.

Too much vegetable matter and Repashy will definitely cause digestive issues. Vary the diet. They are omnivores by nature.
