I look at their poop quite often. Lol. Never found worms or blood. That mucus thing was a first.

Most of the time you wont see worms in feces. Why would worms leave its host? If you see worms in feces, it's a sign that there's no more room in the intestinal tract and they have no other place to go, only out the rear end. Or one or two worms died and were excreted in feces.

I've seen one of mine cough one of those out after dust bathing.
I think it's just a luggy from the dust and super dry air at 10*

Hmm, I didn't know that. How does a fecal test work then?
