    Gray Fecal? *graphic image*

    Hey guys,

    So my rescue spider finally had a BM for the first time unassisted (no soak, no massaging) BUT, a portion of it is gray while the rest looks normal. Has anyone seen this before? He has gained weight really nicely (76.5g when I got him, 152.4 today ) and eats readily now and his humidity has been up at 70% for a while trying to encourage healthy BMs and he just had his first complete shed a few days ago.



    I've saved it all to take to the vet if you guys reeallyy think it's necessary, but money is really tight.

    Thanks!

    I can't see the pic, but my guess would be urates, which is normal.

    Looks pretty normal to me, especially if he wasn't poopin' for awhile.

    I've seen brown, green, yellow, etc lol. So I wouldn't worry too much.

    Also, did you feed a lighter colored rodent than usual? Keep in mind a lot of the waste that comes out is fur.

    Ok, great! Thank you It's normal otherwise, normal texture and composition looks normal (no parasites, etc.)
