| I believe the white balls are uric acid (solid wee), mine pass this as well, sometimes on its own, other times when they have a 'proper' poo. How often have you fed her since you've had her? |

Yep 
Also as above, the frequency will depend on how much is going in. Mine tend to go every 4 to 6 weeks or when they shed, every couple of months isn't uncommon.
Don't worry, you can't miss it when they go! |

| you know, i did think those balls were the remains of the mouses bones until you told me what they really are, so what happens to the bones and all the little hard bits? do they just disolve in the stomach acid? |

| i think most of it is digested yes. I have heard that if you break open a royal poo then sometimes you can find white fur from the mouse in it |

| Yes, the bones are digested but they struggle to digest the fur so pass it eventually. |

| you can smell it in the viv as soon as you open the doors, its like the strongest smelling fart gas in the world i think it must smell this bad due to the protein from the rat/mouse |
