Re: No solid poo
And what should i use to get the stink out of his tub? Is dish soap ok to use? Dont habe an extra to put him in while it drys out so he will have to go right back in it when im done.. juat rinsed it out as of now. But it is stinky.

Re: No solid poo
When I got my first ball he was extremely under fed. His first poop was not formed and was a huge mess. Since then they have all been formed....not sure exactly..but if it continues he could have a parasite..?? Hope some more experienced owners reply for you.

Double check temps, hides etc.....basically overall cage conditions. The little high white pied girl I got from Petsmart on black Friday was said to be a problem feeder and they had to assist feed her yet today after 2 days of having her, she went crazy and struck and ate a live pinkie mouse. How long have you had George? I'd give it a month or so before I'd really get worried and set up a vet visit. Give him time to get his system sorted out and everything to get back on track. Also if you have a regular reptile vet you see, a lot of times you can get a fecal container from them and just drop off a fresh fecal to get checked.

Re: No solid poo
I have had him about a month. He ate fine when i brought him home. His temps and humidity are fine.

Well if his temps are fine and he has eaten since you brought him home, then my guess would be parasites as those can cause really smelly, runny poop. Like I said if you have a regular vet you use, you can probably stop by and get a fecal container and drop off a fecal to get checked for whatever they charge. Otherwise you will have to take him in for a full checkup which when I had that done for my beardie, ran about $200. You can also wait another month to see if it gets more solid. My red tail had softer than normal and a bit smellier than normal poops when I got her but it cleared up in about a month. I figured it was just new home stress.

Re: No solid poo
Ya im going to give him some more time. Try maybe leaving a f/t over night.. cause he seems to be scared of the live. Will just smell them then back away and go hide... so i leave it in there for 45 mins and he just stays in his hide. So im just gonna try a few different things before i get to worried.

Re: No solid poo
I guess im just paranoid cause i looked at georges chart and it has only been 11 days since he has eaten. Ha ha just worried cause my other 2 babies are munching down and growing fast. He has lost 10gs since i weighed him last. The other 2 have put on 40gs

Re: No solid poo
Still hasnt eaten since the day after i got him home. Tried a f/t rat pup over night. Failed. Today i tried a smaller pray went down to a hopper and he still acted interested but when it came nose to nose george would take off and hide.
