I'm thinking one of my RT hatchlings may be constipated . I have had him for six days now. I was not at home for the first few days and when I asked my husband if he went, he said he thought he cleaned some out of his enclosure but was unsure if he did (we have three). I have been watching him the last two days and have not seen anything. He is eating and acting normally.
So today, I gave him a long soak. At least thirty minutes. He voided urine and urates (not chunky). When he did this, they seemed to come out in the water pretty forcefully ( I dont know how else to explain this). This was followed by a very small amount of feces. I mean very small, it was thin, probably the thickness of a piece of yarn and maybe a quarter inch long. Does this sound like constipation to you guys? Should I just give home more time? Maybe something that loosens stool a bit? Any suggestions?
