    Bag the poop, put in the fridge till you can get it to the vet, and have them do a fecal check on it.

    Re: still a very active bp

    If he is eating, pooing and shedding regularly (which you can't really determine because you haven't had him long enough) I would say he is fine. Is he active during the day? Do you handle him a lot?

    I sometimes find when I handle my bp's for more than 15 minutes at a time, they decide to explore their tubs for an hour or two. This isn't necessarily bad, I guess they just get excited or something, lol.
