Right... I know its probably nothing that patience wont fix but I think I maybe need to hear somebody tell me that...

Sal hasnt pood since 12th of August and in that time she has eaten 11 rat pups (was feeding multiples till I could get fluffs) and three decent sized rat fluffs. I thought she might have been waiting till she had shed but she shed on sunday night and still nowt. I have also given her a few warm baths, to no avail...

Do I have cause for concern?

you could try a bath to see if that helps but it's not an unusually long time
does she look constipated at all? is she swollen just infront of her vent or is there a noticeable bulge along her anywhere?

She does have a wee bump before her vent, its not huge ut its not tiny either. Ill turn the heat up a couple of degrees in the warm end to help her digest and Ill not handle her at all for a while. See if she sorts herself out.

cheers folks

Just got in and she had done a nice big poo and a pee in her cool hide :)

Its a philly tub with a hole in the lid and a wee bit of kitchen roll in the bottom so it was nice and contained hehe no major RUB upheaval required!

chuffed
