    HELP! BP seeming to excrete white, solid organ-like objects--normal? poop? Help!

    My BP was on my shoulder last night, and all of a sudden urinated and excreted these relatively hard, slippery white objects that look very much like small, bleached organs. He's looking fine this morning. What could this be? Organs of the rat it ate?

    it's called Urate.. It's a bi-product of their kidneys. Many birds and reptiles expel this type of waste.. Nothing yo worry about.. LOL

    Yeah. Just like that. But slimy.
    Good to know--I thought urates were only chalklike.

    Thank you!

    Heh...not chalklike when they first come out. Only after they've dried out for awhile.
