No poop??

[Tony the tank]

Well Tiny has not pooped in two days...He is eating fine..and active... But I really can't say I have actually ever(except for car ride)seen him poop on his own without soaking.. Which I was doing quite often before when he was on antibiotics..

Should a sulcata poop everyday?? Also While I was in there enclosure today he did pee quite a bit..But no poop..

Thoughts????

He is a 9yr old and a little over 50lbs..

Thanks in advance..

if he is eating fine, then he should prop poop daily.. but they also eat IT daily as well..

Well while he was on his meds he wasn't eating much..he just started getting his appetite back Wednesday.... But still being fickle....He does poop as soon as I soak him..But carrying a 50lbs tortoise up and down a flight of stairs everyday..Gets old quick..

Will give him till tomorrow afternoon..If no poop..will soak him again..

up and down stairs? why not simply bring a soaking tub to him??????

Ascott the thought did ovvur to mr but I doubt he would stay in the tub..Second I like to soak them for 30-45 minutes.. Changing the water every time they defecate and keeping the water warm..


Also i think a basin as big as he is and 3-4 inches of water would be just as heavy
If not heavier than him..

I was thinking of installing a mop sink in the basement... Just for soaking..
