They Poo After A Bath
Hi Folks,
I'm just wondering why my two Leopards choose to do a dump either a) In their bath water when I wash them, or b) straight after when I am taking them out? Is it because they are stressed / scared or is there some other reason? Cheers, Sam |

Cadbury also tends to poo while in the bath.

all my torts poo in the bath,
I know they wee in water naturally so they can replenish themselves while they wee, as for poo i am unsure y they do that in the bath, maybe the lubricant of the water makes it more comfortable. |
