| It will poo don't worry. You know is she is near having a shed as they can hold it in if they are, or sometime they just feel like holding it in. If shes on aspen then the poos maybe so tiny you can't see :P Normally when mine are holding onto a poo and I try and feed them, they poo right on the mouses head XD |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| What you can try if you are still worried is a very shallow warm bath, this can help them go (most can freak out though ), or maybe just handle her for a while, this makes most poop! |

Hi Scott, a while ago I was getting worried about Cornelius's bowel movements coz we'd been feeding him & he hadn't been pooing like normal.
Anyway, turned out I had nowt to worry about coz one night, I found a couple of poos behind a soft toy I have on my couch which is where he likes to wander when he's out & about!   |

| Try not to worry, when they need to they will go. Some mice have a lot of nutrients and there's not so much waste so it might be that too. I've had the same concerns when I first kept snakes but it's really not that unusual and not a great cause for concern at this stage. I'd feed as normal and just wait for nature to take it's course. |
