My juvi carpet has diarrea. It feeds superbly on f/t pinkies. Can endoparasites be ruled out? What are some other causes of diarrea in Morelia? Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

ARGH!
I had a long message typed out, and accidently hit 'back'. Argh!

Anyway, rodents w/o fur can do that to hatchlings. Up the size of the food you are offering. Hatchling carpets can feed on hopper mice, or small rat fuzzies as a first meal.

There could be a parsite/ other issue as well, but I would try that first.
Good luck.
