    Some Salmon contains red dye. To enhance its appearance. I have seen red in their stool before. Just an idea.
    Since you say there are other symptoms I wouldn't call the Salmon the problem.
    Vet. visit sound like it's called for.

    Re: Blood in the cage!?

    idk anymore.... she is back to normal with in a days of these episodes..... i think they might just be her forgetting where the water bowl is...... i think it'll be ok once i get some substrate in there and make it easier to get into the water dish...... i'll keep an eye on her for a few days and if i see anything else right to the vet i go!

    Now you're confusing me, Shanley.... She just ate salmon? Or she's not eating?

    well i meant that she was eating very poorly for the last weeks... sorry..... i try to feed her every other day and for the last 2 weeks that fish was all that she's eaten.... and it was a small piece.... so i didn't count it... but then i forget that small for me is not small for her......

    Right. Yeah, red faeces is normal when they're fed on salmon. Regular dehydration on the other hand is something that needs some attention.

    Re: Blood in the cage!?

    What about the temperature in the enclosure? Any chance that it may be too high?
