"Chewing Gum" poo??

Postby zakkhogan » Sat Mar 01, 2008 4:11 pm

Ive noticed this twice, once after i gave Lynyrd the raw egg in Jan and today (this weeks food has been fruit and veg).

I find normal looking poo and this white ball of poo (fresh), that looks like chewd up chewing gum?

You guys seen this before?

Also today he finished shedding, i dont know if that has somthing to do with it.

I think what you're seeing is the urates. That's their pee. That'd be my guess. I think the sulfur in the egg adds to the load of urates. I could be wrong, that's just my train of thought.

I think urates as well. Interesting way to describe it though. :lol:

Hi Craig,
Ocho does this as well it is uric acid that they get rid of in thier urine, in humans to much uric acid causes gout and it is very painful so maybe it is thier bodys way of sorting it out. Sue
