Question
I have recently bought a baby BRB 3 months old aprox. I had fed him twice (baby rats), one week apart, the last one 3 days ago. i am worried about him because I haven't seen any brown droppings, only small white ones (solid). Is it anything wrong?

Answer
Hi Roberto!
  Funny, I just got bitten by a 5' BRB earlier today. Left a nice mark, but luckily my 5 year old daughter was here to bring paper towels to soak up the blood... I would not worry. What you are seeing is uratic acid (urine). That is the white stuff. As long as he keeps eating, you will have plenty of brown stuff to clean up soon!
