Can more veggies and fruit cause loose stools?

[Keetie!]

Hi All! Since I have been introducing more veggies (chop) and fruit (cantaloupe, strawberries and green grapes), in Blueberry's diet I am noticing more loose stools. I am concerned because, yesterday, he had some stuck to his vent and I had to use a moistened cotton swab to dislodge it. His vent also looks stained. I made a vet appointment to evaluate the stool issue.

I am ordering today, Harrisons High Potency Super Fine. Blueberry flat out refuses the Roudybush! I just must keep trying. BTW...Harrisons will NOT send out samples at this time.

Have a great day Everyone!!!

Yes, fruits and vegetables can cause more wet poops as they are higher water content than seeds/pellets.

The staining could be from the strawberries? (You didn´t say the colour)
