    Their digestive systems are extremely efficient and they can, as a resut of this, go without pooping for months.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Correct. I have seen them go every week or every few months or so. You shouldn't worry unless your BP seems to get plumper near the tail and it appears "stuffed" in that area.

    I have had mine for a little over a month. He pooped the first night I had him and peed about a week after that. Since then he has ate 3 times and no poop yet. I am assuming this is normal. A poop once a month makes it nice and easy to clean.
