Thanks so much for your input, I feel better and enjoyed your
style of writing you made me laugh needed it
thanks

: first off ~ there are NO silly questions! (mainly cuz most of us have asked these same questions at some point in our 'parenthood'! *grin*)

: igs poop ALOT! it amazes me what comes out of iZ!!! (how gross huh?!?) "normal" ... hmmmmm ... normal ranges from 2-3 times a day (like for little iglets in a major growth spurt who eat constantly) to every 2-3 days ... igs will have their own routine, say as people ... everyday is a very nice balance to have tho!

: you said dysentary (sp?) ... does he have the runs/diarrhea or is there just alot of poop??? liquid poop IS a concern cuz s/he could get dehydrated very quickly and it's an indication that something is not quite right health-wise (parasites maybe?) ... as long as it's more of a formed poop, but not too hard (then you're at the other end of the worry-list with constipation) ...

: sounds like Spazzy appreciates the recent improvements you've made! (pat yourself on the back!!! good job mom!) ... it's really amazing what a big difference even little changes can make in their health and how they feel!!!

: i have noticed with iZ that when he poops everyday (which he usually does), he is much more active ~ i think his tummy just feels better cuz he doesn't hold it in so long ... ??? (it's a mom thing ...!) his appetite is also way better when he poops on a daily basis (cuz there's more room i'd guess!)

: one thing you could do is just take a poop sample to the vet + have it checked for parasites ... no need for Spazzy to go out in the cold ...

: ahhhh! finger painting!!! you might consider having a place outside her enclosure for her to poop in ... like Sneakers, iZ only finger paints when he is *displeased* with me ... he never did like having to poop inside his enclosure! now, he's tub-trained + even lines his vent up with the tub drain!! unless ... if's he's po'd at me, he poops on the opposite end of the tub and finger/tail paints ... eeeeeeeeeeeew ...

: really, sounds like Spazzy's doing fine tho ...

: best wishes!
