Quick transit times could be from the overall improvement of temps (higher metabolic rate) and change in diet...^r fiber, perhaps ^r fruit/water content than accustomed to...also maybe parasites (send a fecal sample off to vet) When Ive fed my GGIs high fiber foods especially alfalfa,timothy hay, or grasses ...majority of it is passed undigested. Since he's a baby...I'd try decreasing the fiber/fruits some and increase the plant protein. Maybe temporary from a radical change in diet? Perhaps endoparasites since microflora needed to digest cellulose...Look into probiotics for a few days...'especially' if he winds up being dewormed.
