    Question No poo for a month??

    So my adorable little guy is on my lap while I'm writing this, he settled in a breeze and hasn't skipped a single meal. He shed and did a poo the day I got him, on the 19th Oct, and now it's the 21st Nov, and he's eaten once a week since then but had 2 (small) mice on the third and fourth feedings, so six mice in total.

    I'm sure he's fine seeing as he's still eating and his temps and humidity (although humidity dips occasionally) are correct, but I'm starting to get a little worried that I haven't seen any signs of going into shed, any urates or any poo at all! I know he's a growing boy but this seems crazy!

    Would really appreciate a few opinions

    Thanks in advance!

    Pretty normal unless there is an an obvious bulge near the cloaca that persist and does not go away, defecation depends on food intake, frequency, animal's age, how much of the prey they use for growth etc

    Can be days, can be weeks can be months in between.

    He'll go when he needs to! My albino boy has held it for 3 months at one point. It's crazy.
