Day 5 - 3rd soak (as advised) and no diarrhea.

Yes he’s in my bath tub lol. He seems quite happy soaking and enjoying head rubs.

Yesterday marked a HUGE improvement in his poop. No more diarrhea. Soft, dark brown, formed feces with grass in it. The better diet seems to be doing the trick 😁 how much is too much grass in his poop?

He’s been spending a lot of time out of his too small enclosure. We are going for walks several times a day, 30 mins to an hour, and will continue until his large enclosure is ready. Very close I promise. (As I said, he came to us sooner than expected but he needed to get out of the home he was in. I swear I’m doing the best I can until his 2500sqft + enclosure is ready (he has over 5000 sqft but I’m splitting it in half) and he’s certainly doing better than he was in a 6x6 box being fed fruit).

Anything else I need to be doing?

I soaked my leopards in my bathroom sink when they were little and bath tub when they got bigger, until they moved outside.
The size of the tub and the room to move around in it will help keep things inside and out working better. If they can't risk, they loose muscle and can't walk properly and their insides can't work right. So tub is good place.
