    Internal parasites?

    Hello,
    I want to start with asking this, is eating and not gaining weight for a month consider as losing weight?

    My bp has ate 4 meals after I brought him, two mice and two rat. He refused to eat this week and first week I brought him. I am feeding him right size prey.

    first poop, he had runny poop so I figured it was because of stress. Then he pooped fine 2 times now, but he seems to pee quite often past week but I see that some bp do that. My concern was that his weight is exactly the same when I first brought him home, maybe couple grams difference, was 125 empty and 127 today empty. Does internal parasite always show as having runny poop? Or can they still have it even if they poop fine.

    Is it too early to judge this? Just a month? I already called a vet to check if I should get fecal testing but he told me to watch longer but didn’t explain much about symptoms or what not.
    Am also planning on adding one more bp but can’t put them in separate room but will put as far as I can do best quarntine them. Is it contagious?
    Thanks!
    Edit- he had fur poop couple times also and temp is 75-80 ambient hot 90 but ambient was little low some day due to extreme cold weather.
