    pooping
    So..my girl ate some coconut fiber so I've been watching her closely to see if shes eating or pooping.

    I looked in the cage and there was a fresh poo on the cage floor. it was 2 am so i was going to wait til the next morning to fish it out.

    I woke up the next morning and its gone..no where in sight. I believe she ate it...She hasn't been eatingg her cgd in a while..no lick marks or anything

    Any reason to her eating her own feces

    Has she been eating anything else? Like did she ingest the coco fiber while eating a cricket or something? The feces would have dried up overnight and gotten mixed in with the substrate if she was digging around in it.

    Sorry...I should of gave more info....yes she ingested some shredded coco fiber (eco earth) while feeding crickets..for some reason I thought it would be fine until I saw her take a mouthful. I immediately vacummed out the coco fiber and put it in my other cresty cage cause she doens't each crickets..just cgd.

    I went back to paper so the poop was in plain view..and now its gone.

    I'm kinda wondering if I dreamt it...cause I have been worrying a lot about impaction..but I don't think I did

    I would recommend to just keep an eye on her over the next few days and make sure she continues to eat and to pass feces. If she does she should be fine--if she was impacted she wouldn't be passing anything at all and she would also stop eating.
