Passing urates before brumation

[jasmin1]

Hi

Jasmin has about 1 week to go before she goes into her box and into the fridge.
She is in the cool down phase so reducing the lamp gradually.
She has passed no solids for weeks and as far as I could tell , no urates.
Today she passed some creamy urates in urine.

Is this normal and ok at this stage of the wind down?
Should I be worried?

She has been determined to brumate for ages so not sure how well it will go if she isn't allowed to.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Normal and fine. Are you soaking every other day or so to hydrate and clear the gut before brumation? Good hydration is a must.

Hi
Thanks for that. I'll not worry now.
Yes soaking 4/5 times a week for about 30 mins a time.
Lamp on about 6 hours, she sits under it for about an hour then goes to bed.
Cheers
