Actually, believe it or not, that can be very normal.

Uros have weird excrement. They do not have urine persay, but if well hydrated they can excrete a water like substance then often a white substance, then the poop part (brown).

If that is the only thing that is causing you immediate concern, I would not worry about it.

Do you have any pictures of this guy? It sounds like he is lucky you found him. LOTS of calcium and natural sunlight!!

Well, a vet visit can never hurt, it is possible he has a parasite infection that is causing him issues.

What are you feeding him? What are the temps in his cage? If he is too cold he may sleep all the time, even if he is healthy. How long have you had him? It occasionally takes them some time to acclimate to new surroundings.
