my black and white has been only eating every other day and i believe this is due to her slowing down for hibernation... shes sleeping more also... however her poo has been more of a mushy type and like a lighter lighter brown color almost looks like thick white snot mixed in it but hard to describe and it smells different a lot worse.... should i be concerned? if it goes back to normal thats fine but if this keeps happening should i be concerned? she still eating so i dnt think shes sick but i wouldnt know.... any experts here got any comments/?

If she's eating regularly... and exacuating consistently... I wouldn't worry too much...

She's a growing girl so it doesn't really surprise me that things are constantly changing...

Also if she's preparing for hibernation, things are likely to change also...

anthony I think every things OK. and its good to be concerned. if your GU is slowing down for hibernation it will naturally. and will have a final poo before hibernation . if you feed the GU and does not eat dont worry normal behavior before hibernation.
