White poo

[Tarah]

I cleaned the boys cage out yesterday, to find a couple very pale poo's in there.
Is this a really bad sign? I have yet to figure out who's it is.

How pale? Is it really almost white, or just pale? It depends usually on what they are eating. When they are eating mainly Harlan Teklad lab blocks their raisins are pale goldish-brown and reasonably big. When they are eating too many green veg the raisins get darker and softer.

In humans, very pale poop is a sign of disease.

Could you post photos? (Never thought I'd request to see a photo of a rat raisin, but....)

Older poop seems to be very pale, almost sand color. but We get all types here... depends what they eat, what goes through their system. The only time I get worried if it's very watery soft.

I noticed when I gave them blueberries their poohs were blueish purple....probably just something they ate.
