Is it ok for the urate plug to be runny?

[Tucklander]

I see the sperm plug and normal poop but his urine is runny today? Is that okay. That’s less than ten minutes old. It’s white but it’s always been solid? Any concerns?

Harry gets misted 3 times a day for 3 1/2 minutes , have a garden pump with sharpie line on it and it takes 3 1/2 minutes to empty. Also a light spray 30 minutes before lights out for night time humidity. Mistking arriving Tuesday, to be installed.

Gutloaded crickets, Dubai’s, wild caught grasshoppers , and super worms are his diet

Actually it’s firming up now , maybe I haven’t seen it so soon? But it’s turning solid now...lol. 5 minutes later...

I think you were just seeing it “fresh.” There is usually a decent amount of clear fluid that accompanies both the poop and urates. You can see how much of it soaked into the newspaper. Monitor it and unless it changes drastically I’d say he’s good.

This happened to my female veiled when she started eating blueberries. I didn't give her any for a week and they solidified again. I'm no expert but I think it's just extra fluids in them I haven't noticed any changes in her because of it.

Yeah it’s already turning solid looking, I think I just happened to run across it very fresh...Thanks, and I’m adding another misting in when his Mistking comes Tuesday.
