We Soaked and We Slithered but Still no Poop!

Ive given the STP "Rid****" 2 20 min soakes thus far and a couple of sessions out on the grass/rug, to see if maybe he would be moved to deposit something on the newspaper but still nothing as of yet. Ive had him since april 1 and so its been 3 1/2 months. Please someone tell me this is normal, he seems fine but with these guys ya never know sometimes until its too late. :cry:

I know that they can go a long time with out pooping but 3-1/2 months is a bit much. Did you use warm water. Jojo takes warm water baths and he leaves a floater most of the time.

well I made the water roughly 86-88 degrees, I checked by dropping the temp probe in his hage in the water, but perhaps I should make it warmer. Also is 20 min long enough? Or should I leave him in for longer?

My BP did that to me. Went on a 3-4 month poop fast. I soaked and rubbed and everything. When she was ready, she pooped. It was like 28 mice between poops. :shock:

It'll be fine.

For some reason I find that soo nasty. :poohappens: :poohappens:

haha Beaglegod, from what I've been reading STP's ESPECIALLY poop VERY infrequently. So if I were you ... and knowing that you take great care of your critters I would say don't get worried just yet. :) you'll have a special delivery before you know it haha.

He's normal. Relax. This too "shall pass" ;).

Hang in there!

HAHA - Finally after months and months and plenty of rats Kali gave up the ghost and left the hellacious log - the black blood in the next enclosure over must've had a sympathy p00 because the same day BAM he let loose as well! Now that I know they aren't in danger of exploding I feel much better.
