Urates

Hey all,
I'm somewhat worried about my leo, not drinking enough water. I have never seen him drink. However, his feces always do contain a considerable urate(the white stuff right?).

If there's still urate should I still be worried?

Thanks,
Steven

Urates is perfectly normal. The leos will know when and where to drink otherwise it would be dead in a few days.
