Does he look healthy? Notice a few weird scales on his head, and that he has got alot fatter since shedding, and no poop in i guess 10-12 weeks! Will give him a warm bath (no more than 30) if he hasnt gone by Monday.

Have you got a decent rep vet close by?
if it was me i would get him checked out just in case. he might be constipated or something.
Are you sure its been that long? |

| And usually there is no need to get things moving. I can't see any obvious swelling in that picture. |

Well went in his rubarium last night as humidity hit 89% and found the hugest dump ever seen! I checked on the feeding chart and it was 12 weeks of rat and fur. It was bigger than what my cats doo! But strangley enough it didnt smell bad whatsoever! Quite alot of fur though from what I can see in the poop, but other than that looks great.
Thats one worry over! Checked his vent to make sure there was no prolapse and all seemed well.
The 5 or 6 scales on his head are weird, they are duller/whiter than the others, not sure if this is stuck shed, or scarring from where he has rubbed his head. You can see it in the third picture.
He is an may 08 so now a year old. He has grown alot bigger since Christmas when I first got him. So far been a fantastic feeder/shedder but lousy pooper! Which I guess is a good thing. Thanks for all your help. What's best to weigh him on? Digital scales? |
