    Exclamation Help me please!

    My BP is far from a trouble feeder. But my problem is that I fed him on Sunday, June 12 and he still has yet to defecate. I would have posted sooner but my power was out. I am really worried about him. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    They are not very active and process very slow.
    It will go when it needs to.

    Ok, I was just worried because it has been a week since his last feeding and he still had yet to defecate. Should I feed him tonight, or wait until the process completes itself?

    There is no schedule, it can be a week it can be a month it can be more, you are worrying for nothing.

    It all depends on the animal age and size, prey size, feeding frequency etc.

    They are very efficient that way.

    Feed on schedule one as nothing to do with another.
