tad worried now, whenever i read about royals doing a wee, it's always about it being a liquid...
well Ra's wee (at least i presume it's wee) is like a white chalky substance. he COULD be doing liquid wee somewhere in his viv, but the substrate is never wet, at a push he could be doing it in his moss hide...
is it supposed to be liquid? does it smell in the traditional sense that wee does (in otherwords if he were to be doing it in the moss hide, would i smell it?)
if the white stuff i keep finding ISN'T wee, what is it?
if it IS wee, but it's not supposed to be like that (i.e it's supposed to be a liquid) what do i need to do?

i guess this is an odd subject but would be greatful to get it cleared up (everytime i get over one worry, i discover something new to worry about! LOL)
