Bean’s been having an issue with his penis for months now.
I recently made a thread about how he doesn’t eat because he’s busy masturbating, and then I got into the “penis issue”. I thought I’d make a thread about it specifically because I’m desperate for help.
Bean is very active, healthy, and generally just doing great. The only issue he has is with substrate. When he’s on substrate, it somehow ends up sticking to his penis, which causes intense irritation. He ends up with his butt in the air like he’s pushing out a hard poop, straining for dear life, but all he’s trying to do is get the substrate off his penis. I keep him off substrate for now.
The vet can’t find anything wrong with him. Eating, pooping, peeing, moving, everything is fine. The vet checked the muscles in his cloacal region to see if there was some weakness but everything down there is extremely strong. In other words, Bean is doing this on purpose, and he’s making himself miserable. He refuses to soak himself to get the substrate off, he ends up sticking his penis out and dipping it in MORE substrate. I have to soak him myself to get it off.
I have no idea what to do from here on.
Please, if anyone has any experience with an issue like this, I’d really appreciate it...
