Worried about My Little Poopers Poop!!!!

[Sharlees rattakisses]

Hi!! I just started feeding my multiple rattakisses Harlan food (4 days) and I've noticed there poop has changed colour from dark to beige. Is this normal? I'm kinda on edge because my little Onion died so suddenly and I don't want to lose any more of my ratties. :sad3:

What were you feeding them before?

The hard pellet kind from PetsMart. I can't for the life of me remember the name except it was mostly yellow and had a rat on it.

Mazuri? The 2 lb bags of it are the 5663 formulation which is 23% protein

What goes in, must come out, Harlan is a quality block so I wouldn't worry too much, there may be stinkies and different colours but it will work out.

Thanx!! Can't be too thorough when it comes to your rattakisses!!

Not at all

I think my munchkins have lighter poop overall with the HT, HT blocks are pretty light coloured. but they are all healthy and hale (well the majority anyways :roll

My rattie's poop is a beige colour and they are all quite healthy
... well, except 15 month old Burrell who has CHF.
