Question: Is Kai's purple tummy normal?

[AmberLouiseT]

Kai is eating and developing beautifully, the one thing that makes me a little nervous is that his tummy turns deep purple when he's eaten and/or needs a poop.

I know it's normal for albino's to have a darker tummy when they're digesting food but is it normally purple?

He's fed on chopped earthworms, tiger worms - to be specific. & has a few bloodworms as a treat every now & then.

Kai also has a more plump stomach than Rey, so I was wondering if this is normal or should I call the vet asap?

Is my little one alright?

Sorry for the stupid questions - I just need to be completely certain that he's healthy & happy.

Perfectly normal. I bet your liver goes a bit purple and your belly gets a bit bloated after a big meal too...

I'm so relieved! I was worried the about it being purple instead of brown-ish, started having all these thoughts about there being blood in the intestines or something.

It's such a deep purple at times, the colour of a bruise, that my anxiety levels soared through the roof.

I just want my little one's to be as healthy and happy as possible.. I'm glad to hear it's normal!

Thanks AuntieJude!!

He is quite fat compared to your golden one
The gold is much prettier

He's not fat, he's healthy. And they are BOTH equally beautiful.
