Hi, one of my baby geckos has what looks like dry poop stuck on him :-S is it to be worried about or does it just need a cleanup? If it needs cleaning, how do i do so? since i find them so delicate, i dont want to harm his ass neither.
Thanks,
Sheri

Has he attempted to wipe it off himself? Rubbing it up against the substrate or walls or anything he can find? If he has, and it's not coming off, you might check to make sure it's actually feces and not something else.
Then, get one of those Kritter Keepers, fill it with just enough warm (just above lukewarm) water to reach his belly, and then set him in there for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take a soft cloth and very gently wipe the feces off.
And, not to lecture or start a war, but this the teacher & mother coming out in me, I guess - but please refrain from using Profanity. There are MANY synonyms for a butt.

It did, but then after a few days it happened again, so i supposed he had diarrea. I took him to the vet, he confirmed to me that he does, and noted me a medicine, so i guess its a matter of time to see if he gets cured from that.
Thanks for the attention
