He is lovely Claire - your right I think he could do with a manicure - cant comment on his poo though I'm afraid - my Leopards is much different to that !!!!

If it were mine I would say they had eaten too much lettuce.... Has he had much lettuce?

Another thought, too many young leaves can cause runny poo.... Try finding the older dark green ones of you can!

with me its been dandelion watercress nettle honey suckle flower
a small slice or cucumber when i got him as diddnt know if he was dehydrated as he was drinking water ,i think this was a regular part of his diet also
