Loose Stools
Hello everyone,
Since yesterday, my Hermann's has been producing slightly different stools. Thy're a little on the loose side. No worms or weird colours, they just seem.... well, loose. Enough that I noticed.
He's been eating well, and I haven't fed him any thing different. He's diet has consisted of:
Collard greens, Hawkbit leaves & flowers, Turnip greens, Watercress & Dandellion leaves (today he's also had plantain & trefoil, but that was already after I noticed the looseness)
Is this common or should I be worried?
Thanks
PS - I've put together a new setup. Will post pics later.

RE: Loose Stools
I wouldn't worry too much. Stools can be soft from time to time especially when feeding a vaiety of things, stay away from thr fruit though. Hermann's do not need it. Give it warm bath and closely examin what it expells.

Thanks Chris. I don't whant to sound histerical with all the questions, but they do seem to come up every once in while ;-)
Oh and he's had no fruit whatsoever. I think I gave him a bit of fig back in October, but that was that.
