first off i wasn't sure if this should be in husbandry or general. But i've had my bp for about 7 weeks now and he has not pooped, I have cleaned urates and pee but no poop was wondering if this is something i should be worried about or not. In the begining he was covered in mites which was treated, wasn't eating first three weeks, (f/t), was underweight (about 18 in. and 62grams) slightly dehydrated, after the vet visit and force feed has been eating regularly and always ready and waiting for food on feeding day(every 5 days) i started out with hoppers 1st three feeding then switched to small mice last three feedings(possibly weanlings?) because i thought the hoppers were to small. he looks much healthier and has put on weight but is it normal that he hasn't pooped yet. could he be using all of the mouse because he was originally underfed or is he constipated and if so what do i do? I'm also assuming he hasn't shed yet because of being under weight and underfed he has to fill his skin back out before needing to shed there also hasn't been any signs of shed no blue/cloudy eyes no pink belly
