Since last night I've noticed that Bella's poops are looking a bit different. It seems like the urates are mixing with her poop rather than staying in the center. Like the typical budgie poop has the outer brownish green ring and then the urates in the center. Well with her, the urates seem to be more fluid I guess and are mixing with the fecal portion rather than staying in the center. The fecal part is still fully formed, so no diarrhea, she has a clean bottom, and the urates don't seem to have increased. They are just a bit more wet so her poop comes out more of a gray-green color. She doesn't eat fresh food, so she hasn't really eaten anything that could make her droppings more wet. The urine portion hasn't seemed to increase either. It's just the urates that aren't staying in that perfect little blob. Could this be cause for concern? She is molting right now (stress?) and she's recently started eating pellets, so I don't know if either of those two factors could be attributed to it. She seems completely fine other than that. Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone had any insight.

This might help

Doesn't look like any of those, but thanks for the site. It's a good one to bookmark.

Sounds like some sort of stress to me , this can cause a loose dropping.

I would monitor her for condition as she moults.

You could try 1gram of citric acid crystals to one litre of water , and give this as her water , it will condition the bowel and tighten up the dropping.

Goodluck.

now that is what I call an informative site... and with pictures that leave nothing to the imagination. Very helpful... not so hungy now either..
