Kahra,
Eos had a serious problem with diarrhea right after I got her...I had to take her back to the breeder for a while. He put her on a diet of only monkey buiscuits and sweet potato baby food and water until the problem stopped (a couple of days). I think Thomas's suggestion on the pedialyte is really good, too, but be sure to get a non citrus flavor for any kind of juice you give. Hold off on the grapes, too, until she's better. It could also be stress...so try to reduce noise and keep her just with you - not exposed to lots of other people or pets until she feels secure. (You can still take her out, just leave her in your pocket.) Are you leaving her alone in the cage most of the time? If so, that could be stressful to her. If she has this problem for very long at all, take her to the vet. She could die if too dehydrated, and the vet can give her a shot of liquids.
Good luck,
Tiffany
