    can someone fill me in?

    my B.P samson is about 8 months old, but he has not pooped within his last few feedings from what i've read this seems to be rather common but i'm curious as to weather or not i keep him on his regular feeding schedule or should i wait till he does his business? i dont assume that he's constipated judging by his behavior, but i dont want to over feed him?


    any input is appreciated,

    Try soaking him for a little while, and if he is acting fine and does not have sausage butt than keep feeding him and just keep soaking him every few days. More than likely he is about to shed and when that happens more than likely it will happen.

    I wouldnt soak him.
    He will do his thing in time and if he feels the need for a soak make sure the water dish is large enough.
