if we can come up with something helpful, it may be information that others could use too.

Is the feces mucousy? If it is, that could indicate bacterial or parasite problems cropping up. If it's just loose stool, smell and coloration are normal and there's no blood, then it may well be attributable to stress due to a change of surroundings, etc. I'd just watch him for another time or two and see if it goes back to normal. If it's the same for another time or two, I would recommend doing a fecal exam just to be sure.
