Sorry no pics of it...although he did another nice one today...and ate a nice meal.

I did go through it just to see what it was that was blocking him up.....I didnt really find anything but a really hard crusty urate and some fur and a bit or dirt.....the only thing that i questioned was the hard urate but its didnt seem like it was that big he couldnt pass it. Thoughts?

Thanks

Scott

it was prolly the dirt w/ the hair

That's what I think. Mine have been passing big egg shaped urates lately as well. Hmmm....weather?

I think, too, that it's the dirt. I don't want to scare you but I'm a bit worried that he pooped out some furr since he gets the natural UVB from the sun. The rodent should of been digested all the way. Do you know if he is hiding a lot ? Maybe if he is hiding a lot and doesn't get nough UVB or the right temps this will lead to improper digestion, too. Does he has a lot of clean, fresh water do drink ? Maybe the urates are so hard because he is maybe a bit dehydrated. I'm so glad to hear that he pooped again today . Did the urates look like the one in the photo below or harder and without the mucus around it ? Sorry for all the questions.

He does get alot of rodents....but i wouldnt say it was alot of fur or any more than normal....he has been hidden alot....temps have been in the low to mid 90's here and he is outsdie so even in the shade its upper 80 at the least......I was thinking the dehydration myself since i havent really been seeing him eat and although it has been very humid here and alot or rain......I thinki am going to soak him for awhile tomorrow.....the poo did look simial to the picture a bit different but defaintly more on the normal range

Thank you for the info. Do you by any chance have a inside enclosure ? I think the temps are a bit to low. He should have a bsking spot from 100 to 110. Maybe he is hiding/sleeping a lot because it's not hot enough for him. Try to put some water in front of him and see if he drinks it. But I am very glad the poop looks more normal now .
