Worried about Stanley/Bernice, bloated?

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

The only reason why I found out this is when I did soak for him when the temperature was pretty low in the house. So I covered the bin with a towel to keep the heat in in about 10 minutes I started hearing him slosh around,
I lifted the towel defined that he had a very large bowel movement.
And ever since then he would only do A bm if the towel was on top.

I'm going to try this out tonight. Now that you mention it, the last time she pooped she was in her travel setup and covered pretty well. I hadn't even thought about recreating that private environment for her. Thank you so much!

We have poop and a lot of it! The towel method worked. About 3 minutes into the soak she started going. I think she had started to feel a little sluggish because after pooping she was feisty and super active. Thanks you, again, for the suggestion! I'll be using this method from now on.

Now Louis has me wondering if the towel trick works because it holds the water's temperature, or is it a privacy matter ?

Both actually.

I know the privacy was an important factor for Bernice. If I lifted the towel too high when checking on her while she was going, she would freeze until I lowered it. I won't be disturbing her in the future. And it definitely helped keep the water temp up.

I was so excited when she pooped that I actually clapped. I was a little embarrassed afterwards.

I know this is going to sound a little silly, but what does the poo look like?
I'm asking because I have had my Pacman frog, Paco, for a week now and I've never seen anything in his cage, that I thought was poo. I thought he used his pool today because it had a lot of coir in it and it was all brown - like tea. No chunks other than the bits coir. Now I'm thinking it may have been poo.
Will I know it, when I see it?

As always - Thanks - Andy

Actually that is normal behavior of a proud frog parent. LOL
