As the others said - get a sample in to the vet - I'd lay a good amount of money he's got protozoan parasites.

The poop output of the Russian I fostered was one of the reasons I was glad to find him a good permanent home. That thing was an eating machine and what went in came out at what seemed double the input rate!

I love my Leopard - she poops mostly during her bi-weekly soaks, or when she's outdoors.

: Being new to Russians.. I am a 'nervous' new owner.... but I have to ask. My little guy is pooping sooo much. Am I doing somingthing wrong to him. He is eating quite a bit, but I don't know how much is too much. I generallyt feed him collard greens, dandelions, green beans, some carrots, and a little bit of land tort food mixture .. that probably has too much fruit in it, but I am afraid I am not giving him all his vitamins. I need a 'dummy's' explanation of what and how much to feed him. I have looked upwebsites, and have gotten great advise from them, but just want to make sure I am not hurting the little guy. Thnx
