Thanks for the advice. DD has already pooped once. Urates every Friday night or Saturday morning. Does eat regularly. And will hopefully fully shed by this weekend does that count???
Of course, it helps that he was a sub-adult when we got him and the mom & pop pet shop that we go to has a guy that works there that provides very acurate info. Nothing he has told me contridicts what those of you that seem more experienced have said. To be honest, I now ask for him by name for quick questions. So he seemed pretty well established when I got him.
