vegetable reactions

[MiniLopHop]

Becky likes all kinds of vegetables and she gets about 2.5 cups a day. Yesterday I tried some spinach, just a little bit for the first time. She now has a little bit of soft poo. Since the spinach is the only thing that is new I think it might be that not agreeing with her? Obviously I won't give her any more. Will this go away on her own? She is still eating well. :eats:

The only other thing I can think of is that her vet check was yesterday. Can stress cause that? She is set to be spayed on Wednesday and I want to make sure she is feeling her best. :nurse:

The stress as well as the spinach could have contributed to the soft poop. I would hold off introducing new foods until she is spayed and given a bit of a chance to heal. You don't want to make things worse and end up having to take her to the vet on top of the spay stuff.

I agree with Kate's comments, the spinach can be irritating, and the stress never helps. I think you are doing the right thing, and as long as their behavior is consistent, it will probably right itself.

Thanks, the turtles will be happy to have one less competator for the spinach. I will stick to stuff she knows for the next few weeks until after her procedure and I know she has healed up.
