With the signs of both heavy breathing and abnormal droppings, I would be concerned that Albert is sick. He may also be stressed by his new environment but that doesn’t typically cause the extent of changes as what you are describing. I would recommend having Albert evaluated by a veterinarian. Please collect some of the droppings and take them with you to the visit, if possible. The feces can be evaluated for parasites or abnormal bacterial populations. They may recommend treatments for Albert, depending on what is found. I hope that gives you a place to start, and good luck!
