    Extra Excretion?

    Alright, this may seem a silly question, but I noticed when my bp pooed there was the white urates, which is normal I believe, but there was also what looked like about 1/8th of a cup of a fluid of some sort (I use a washable liner in the tank, so I could see a darker spot). What could this be, and is it normal?

    Just 1/8th?
    I have a few that completely soak their bins, and then get all huffy with ME when I'm cleaning it up...like that's my doing!

    well, 1/8 is just a guess. It could be upwards of that, like 1/2 cup at the high extreme, but I don't think it was that much, but I take it that this is normal, and I've no need to fear? (Underdog is here!)

    Haha, I think you just aged yourself, Rich

    Yup, I think what you are seeing is completely normal!

    Totally normal. They'll excrete liquid urine as well as urates and poo. Sometimes not very much...sometimes a LOT.
