Question about Torch, and brown stuff coming out of it

[TopNotch]

I just noticed that my torch which has been doing great for the last 4 days, sucked in and released some brown slime. It stopped the slime but is still sucked in. What is it? What would cause this? My clown heading into the tenticles or something other than that, like my finger leather, GSP, or Xenia.

Now an hour and a half later, and still no slime.... It has already came back out in full effect, and pretty close to full inflation. Is the brown slime some kind of defense mechanism?

Could be that the clown irratated it - hope its not early signs of a brown jelly infection though.

from my experience with mine, it seems like a bowel movement. after a good feeding, it will sometimes " burp" some brown junk. mine did great and never noticed any bad effect from it. just keep and eye on it. how long have you had it?

[TopNotch]

Ive had it for about 5 days now, it really doesnt look sick to me...especially since it was out again in about an hour. I just wanted to know if other people had similar occurances, and might know what it was doing.

yes sounds like it was having a crap

mine does that from time to time

I watched mine do that not too long ago. Released brown slime and retracted in. A few hours later or maybe the next day it looked back to normal again so I think it was taking a poop as well.
