Chalky poop?

[Manasha-Bogo]

Usually I find the answers to my questions in the archives here but oddly, not this one. (or I'm searching for the wrong wording)

But my male BP which is 5 months old usually has normal looking poop, but this week his poop looked very chalky and crumbly. He's got plenty of water, ate 6 days ago just fine, his temps are good, but at night they drop to 75F. I'm already working on getting him into a tub (tomorrow). Ideas?

Sounds very normal - he is just expelling urates. No need for the night drop but shouldn't make a difference.

Small and white? Urates.

ok thanks. I had never noticed it that dried out before. And should it be pure white? or can it be yellowish too? his was yellow.

Sounds like urates to me, don't think I would worry.

Yellow, green, white, I've even seen some urates that looked blueish in color. Sounds like regular urates to me, and nothin to be worried about. Urates can be a range of colors, and that's totally normal.
