change of stool could be due to change in diet, i suggest less commercial foods and more fresh veggies such as collard,mustard and dandelion greens, iggys are folivores (leaf eaters) not a pellet eater by nature. also i suggest seperating iggys, they dont do well in groups in small enclosures(and yes any enclosure is too small unless you are providing them with a large room) you are probably adding a heavy load of stress on both and this will not help any with the healing of mouth rot. they dont percieve other iggys in there enclosure as friends, but as a intruder thats y she is acting territorial. also, lose the heat rock PLEASE. iggys cannot sense heat on there bellies thay have a perenial eye on the top of there head that senses the heat. this can make a nasty burn on a iggy that could be fatal. i run a rescue and have dealt with many burns dueto heat rocks, with some fatalities, so PLEASE throw it out. and get another enclosure cause in the end it will end you will end up with 2 stressed iggys and possibly a pregnant female, and we have so many neglected iggys out there that i would hate to see u adding to this by breeding. thanx for your time and please take my info. into consideration.
