Ive had my ball for 5 or 6 years. and i never had a problem with him... recently i noticed he has bumps near his tail... hes moving fine, last time he ate it was fine, but... i niticed he has not go poop yet. its been like 3 weeks... what should i do? could that be whats causing the blockage? he went last month... im scared to feed him again until i see the rest come out....

Some BP's only poop after a shed, I wouldn't be too worried.

Can you post a picture of these bumps?

Yes, if he's hungry, he doesn't have a blockage. That makes any animal horribly uncomfortable, and they won't eat.

And i see now that he may have a littler scale rot going on in that area.... i put badodine on it and some other stuff i read.... Oy

That does look uncomfortable. Does he seem sensitive when you handle the area? Can you feel any gas movement when holding him? Are the lumps hard or soft? It could be a number of things but without knowing how it feels/sounds, it would be hard to say what it actually is.
