Investigating Poop

[dave_lp]

My new JCP pooped for the first time, that I've had him. I got him Saturday. He is in my brothers room until I feel safe bringing him to mine. Where would I bring his poop, and how long is it good? I didnt know until I got home from work, and the vet is closed. Also, what else do I need to look for before bringing him around my Ball. I dont see any mites, nor anything else.

	Mites Mites, close relatives of fleas and ticks

You dont always see it, you need to wait a while, months if possible for any sickness to show through.

You can put the poop in a ziplock baggie (don't confuse it with pudding on the late night snack though ) and keep it in the fridge at least a overnight (don't freeze) and drop it off the next day for the tests.
