Diarrhea

Postby Geo » Mon Oct 01, 2012 10:17 am

Hello,

I wrote last week about our BTS Java not eating. He ended going 12days before he ate. He loves eggs so I mixed a small amount of egg with his halo cat food, collared greens, & raspberries on Saturday & he ate. He has since had diarrhea twice (Sunday & today Monday). Is this something I should be worried about. I have read egg can give them diarrhea. We usually try to feed him every other day & that would be today...should I try to feed him? If so is there anything I should try to feed him to stop the diarrhea?

egg and banana causes their stools to be loose and gooey. its perfectly normal. this is why you see many suggestions of feeding egg or banana
if you believe your skink may be impacted.

it will correct itself immediately. just feed normal meals :D

try natural instinct raw diet. It is pucks you keep in the freezer. They would beautifully into the BTS diet. The venison is that best.
