Hi,

We fed Cornelius last Sunday night on his usual pinky but we thought it looked a tiny bit bigger than usual.

He hasn't pooed yet tho. Is it normal for him not to have done yet?

Thanks.

Forgot to say that he's normally pooed before now. Takes about 2 days to pass thru him.

Mine poo's usually every 2-4 days. Sometimes they just hold it. Just keep any eye on him. Is he due a shed? They sometimes hold it when doing so.

EDIT: With it being bigger it may take longer to digest, thus longer for the poo to arrive

Hi Simmy, no he only just shed last Sat.

Yep, I felt like I was answering my own question with putting on that pinky was bit bigger so longer to digest but it was only a tiny, tiny bit bigger than normal.

We still have him on kitchen roll so his poo will be easy to spot when he does do it.

He did a big plop last Fri so maybe he's just holding it in!

He's due another feed tomorrow, stupid question but can we still feed him even if he hasn't pooed?!

Thx.

Yeah of course you can still feed him.

More food it = more poo out
