Thanks for reaching out regarding Rascal. As long as he is active, alert and eating, waiting until Monday should be fine. The fecal change can often be a reaction to dietary changes or stress. Pay attention to what Rascal might be chewing on when out of his cage. Even newly offered treats can change their digestion. Try to keep the diet as bland as possible, kibble only, no treats. If the problem persists, make an appointment with a veterinarian on Monday.
