    How Long Is Too Long For A Poo
    I brought my Ball home on 6-23. He has eaten 3 times 7-1 1 pinkie, 7-2 1 pinkie, and 7-6 1 fuzzy. He has not had a poo or pee since bringing him home. Should I be concerned or does he need more time? I'm new to snake care and just want to make sure he is alright.

    I suggest getting larger meals, as hatchlings can take rat pups. Doesn't seem like he's getting enough food. Also, he should be fed every 5-7 days.

    Thats kind of what I was thinking because he was acting hungry just after a few days. I place a piece of tile in his enclosure that I put the mouse on and last night after his meal I hadnt taken the tile back out and he had eased up to it and laid his head on it like he was waiting on another meal.I guess I better order some rat pups tonite. No one around here has anything bigger than fuzzy mice that I can find without going live.

    I'd feed maybe two fuzzies once every 5-7 days to use up whatever you've already bought, and find a local rat breeder from craigslist maybe? I found one on craigslist close by and I get them frozen from him :) I also pick up feeders from shows. Good luck :)

    If you can't find a local breeder... I'd buy F/T online or start breeding your own rats. :)

    GL my friend. You must post some pics of your ball!!!
