[chucky]

Hi all this morning i was taking winston outta his cage and every morning he goes one BIG poo and he did except this time the urine part looked kinda reddish and im flippin out i have no money for the vet right now and their not open today anyhow so i've posted a picture of what he poo'd out and i need your help im gonna watch him close allday and see if it happens again he ate last night hours before bedtime apples,brocoli,red grapes,chex, I dont know why it looks like this and to be serious im scared as hell. I seen him go poo a couple times since then and the urine part soaked up in furniture so couldnt tell if it was reddish or not still.heres the pick of what it looked like and I hope you can help. THX

And i forgot to mention winston started eating more pellets than before and i heard this can may cause a color problem.the urine is the only thing and looking at it now looks more orange.his zupreem is the multi color fruitblend too.his other poops look like their prolly normal but im bout to lose it here folks im SURE you know EXACTLY how i feel right now!!!

Okay, yuck! LOL, you know a true bird lover when they photograph droppings.

All joking aside, I've been there. It sounds like your baby had lots of potential poop-affecters last night. The morning poop is always pretty big and disgusting and often looks very watery, so I'd say the only issue is why is it that color? I doubt it's the Zupreem because if that happened to everyone who fed Zupreem they'd go out of business! My personal feeling is it was the grapes. Grapes can cause the runs and they can also cause the color change.

Try putting white paper towels or napkins or something on the furniture and anywhere else he might poop on and just keep your eye on it the rest of the day. Avoid the grapes and see if the poop goes back to normal. If it does, I'd say you should probably skip the grapes from now on. They are very high in sugar anyway, so there are plenty of other fruits you can offer instead.

LOL, THX Riley i think actually, i hope Winstons poo is like this from eating somthing and not a sign of a worse problem,I've been watching him poo today a few times and it looks fine, no reddish-orangish water in it so im kinda stumped and still worried but not as much since it has stopped for now.I'll try the skippng grapes today and see how it goes tomorrow morning,but i can say Winston eats his mix of pellet and some seeds and i can tell in his poo the difference from the two and they look normal its just the water/urine part thats odd. THX much ,Alex

If you just got her eating the pellets it will make funky poops! Ours were all different colors depending on what color each had eaten, others were brownish like that one, it has since cleared up and looks "normal" after they adjust to the pellets.

Hi again thx Tammy for your suggestion I'm thinking the same thing and aint as worried now that Winston's got "normal" poo but i'll be lookin and try to figure just exactly causes this. Thx and btw I love your "Crew" I'm jealous!!!

Charlie was eating Zupreem Fruitblend when he came here. I've switched him over to Zupreem natural, and he's droppings have been a LOT better since. I believe it may have something to do with the dyes, as he always had runny poos with with fruitblend. Now though his poos are a lot less runny, and look a lot more like they are supposed to.

Hi, Winstons poo this morning looked "normal" and have since been fine i;m prolly gonna end up switching this fruit blend Zupreem at some point and im lookin into what im goin to switch to.The natural sounds good and i may go that way, Winstons growin into himself FAST and im lovin it and learning from this guy everyday. Thanx Monica, Alex

get the tiel size zupreem. the round ones, not the oval ones. they are easier to chew, wont require winston soaking them in his water, and they taste better.
