We have had Silva for 4 weeks now and when we got him was told the poo is a black pellet with bit of white.

We have found it to be mainly white with a little bit of black but todays and the last were black and slightly gooey/ sticky.

So on to my question, is this normal and a few points are;

1/ substrate has been changed from the dry wood chippings to aspen.
2/ had 2 pinkies for first time on sunday.
3/ pretty sure it was really fresh

Thanks in advance, Rick.

Hi Mate,

It all come out gooey/sticky but then dry's almost chalky. Sounds normal to me. The white is a solid form of urine.

Yeah, sounds normal.

It depends like you said on how fresh it is lol I find that Nimbus's poop dries up to almost nothing but when it's fresh there's loads of it!

Cheers, didn't think it was anything to worry about but better safe than sorry.

Didn't realise the white was dried urine, learn something every day on here ;)

Thanks.
