Dry urine?
At first I just thought I'd missed a pee, since I found dry urates in Delilah's tub while cleaning (a while back). But now it seems to be the norm, and all of her urinations are mostly dry/chalky urates - with little to no liquid. I'm not sure exactly how long this has been going on, since my roommate cared for her until about 2 months ago.
Of course the first thought is that she's dehydrated, or the husbandry is off... but I give her plenty of water, and she lives in a rack with 7 other BPs who all pee normally. So what else could be causing this issue? She seems otherwise healthy, eats 2-4 mice weekly (hates rats), and weighs nearly 700g @ around a year old. She does seem to poop more often than normal, though, so I wonder if there's a connection between the two. Any thoughts?
