Rhino has not pooped in three days. He was hatched the first week of September and is a Sulcata. He's been eating spring mix,turnip greens and dandelions with a mix of Zoo Med Grassland Tortoise. I saw where Tom suggested a hour long soak. I did that,but still nothing. My substrate is coconut coir. His enclosur is 70% humidity, 80* cool side and 94* basking.

Keep soaking him and if things don't improve I would talk to your vet. More heat might help as well.

Put him in a tub for the warm soak. The walking all around the size of a tub will help get things moving. Good luck.
