    did he poop?...(yes, seriously)

    but how can you say that with out smiling? ah, american culture. anyway, Gabriel (BP) ate two nights ago, yesterday, or today (i work long hours this week and a shifting schedule so i lose track) i spot checked and found one white and one yellowish creme colored lumps the size a little bigger than a popcorn kernel. i took them out and trashed it, i havent seen anymore since and i got him out tonight for the 1st time since he ate (2 days ago). was this his dung?...i wasnt expecting anything huge, but a lil mote than this.

    also while i had him out he seemed a lil more defensive than he was the last time i held him before feeding, didnt move, and didnt like bein rubbed. is this bc he isnt done digesting?...or is it in two days he lost that "confidence"?....

    still in my first week so anyone who didnt stop by on my last post, be up front, be detailed, and ask for things that i may not know to be aware of...THANKS!!!!.....

    What you found was urates (basically solid urine), which is totally normal. He could have been defensive due to a full belly, heading into a shed, or just because he's a baby and still deciding whether or not you're going to eat him.

    It usually takes between 5-7 days to digest food.
