irregular defecation

Ok, I kind of feel like a pest now but I have another concern.

A baby blizzard in a separate tank has had a movement that appears to be normal except for the fact that there is a small puddle of fluid around it.

The fluid looks clear and there is no odor associated with it. Do leo's pee ? Sounds dumb to ask now that I have written it, but I haven't actually seen any of mine go number 1.

Thanks again

Actually this sounds normal. And you're not the first person to ask about it and its not silly. The small puddle of fluid is there because the leo is well-hydrated. It's fluid waste, but its not actually pee. Leos do pee, but their urates are white and solid. They don't lose any fluid when they get rid of urates because where they come from water is at a premium. But in captivity, if they get plenty of water, they will pass some of it and that is the reason for the puddle. It's fine and normal. As long as the poop is solid, which you said it was. if the poop itself was runny of course that would be bad.

yep the clear fluid sounds normal, as long as its not mucas in the stool or diarrhea.

Thanks for the reassurance. Hopefully that means I am doing it right LOL.

I don't think it was mucus because it evaporated quite fast and yes, the poop looks normal. Not runny at all.

Thanks for answering my question.

Here are some pics of the little ones.
El Blanco - Blizzard
Choco - Lg Normal
Milky - Albino
Norm - Smaller normal
