I was just watching Hero in the playpen. He's having a wash now, but earlier he went off and backed up into the corner like he does when he poops. I watched him, and I'm not sure if he was uncomfortable or just taking g his time as I was staring at him, but his poop (as well as a fair few others in there) were pale. I've heard it's to do with dehydration, but he drinks alot. No change to diet, either.
What could this mean?
Thanks!
 
Were they fresh ones or had they been there a while?
 
Keep an eye on his weight, if he's losing weight id have him vet checked and mention the poos.

Check his water bottle is functioning properly.

If his weight and appetite are stable and the poos resolve themselves then I wouldn't worry.
