My Suriname redtail has been eating rat pups F/T but hasn't eaten since 8/23/05, but he has been offered twice since then. Today he had, lets call it a Soupy movement. Should I be worried?

parasites .. taking it to the vet would be your best bet .

Our poop is not ALWAYS perfect, but you know how when we get really sick, like a virus or stomach flu or something similar, the poopy is quite soopy to say the least!!!

That soupy poopy may be parasites or some form of infection, and chances are, it will not go away on its own.

This is something that may change a bit, but the sickness or parasites will most likely not, and she will still be 'sick' even though she doesn't look it.

This is a case where you may continue to feed her and she may continue to eat perfectly everytime, but then drop dead suddenly after a few months.

I strongly suggest the Vet trip, she will most likely get some meds prescribed which should clean this up pronto.

There IS the slight chance you fed her a bad rodent, spoiled rodent, rodent from a different place that has been housd and fed differently. If you are sure it's not that, straight to the vet my friend!

Hope it all works out well for you.

Remember, each trip to the vet is a huge learning experience for you, and you will be that much prepared next time, and maybe even be able to save that trip to the vet
