How often should he be defecating?
This is my third week with my little buddy and I haven't seen any defecation, even though he's eaten and always seems to have an appetite. :confused: what do i do?? and how often should i see waste from him?? i'm pretty freaked out now...
Re: How often should he be defecating?
They go when they feel like it. Sometimes it's once a week, other times once a month or even less frequently.
Don't worry.
If you want to try to make them 'want' to go, give 'em a short soak in a quarter inch of lukewarm water. This is hardly ever necessary.
3 weeks is nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about. He'll go when he needs to go. It's not unusual for a Ball to defecate only once every month or longer. ;)

Thank you both very much! I was going through heart failure lol cause i'm used to rodents that have to go like every ten seconds :P
