Good morning, This morning I soaked Fred as usual and he pooped. I had to do a couple of things to do well when I came back to him he had flipped and pooped alot, I then soaked him immediately. He's okay. I was just wondering if he really is okay since he pooped.

It's ok. Being in a situation he couldn't control caused him to vacate his digestive tract. Nothing to worry about.

You did the right thing by soaking him. He had emptied his bowel trying to get up. This could lead to dehydration, so soaking was the right call.
