As far as the poo, I wouldn't worry to much. He will go when he needs to.
As for the soaking- first thing that would cross my mind is to look for mites. Bps aren't typically soakers, unless something is wrong. Second would be, is he too hot? What are his temps? How do you control them? As for the hides, are they snug and secure?
