I have had him two days and he has not been he peed on me when I first got him but since then no poo and I have looked in the viv ready to clean up but nothing, is this normal is it because he traveled yesterday or he is in a new place. Any advice please. Sue

Relax. The stress of moving can really throw off their cycle sometimes. I'll use Wocket as an example. I got him I believe late September, or early October. His first poo was weeks later, on Halloween, all over me. If he's eating and doesn't seem lethargic, it should be good. Once you start handling he'll likely be willing to lay one all over you. And if he doesn't after a week or so, a warm soak when taking him out can usually get a nice reaction.

It is good to keep an eye on it of course, but don't panic when he doesn't go right away. I started worrying a little at about 2 weeks, so I was very happy when I was coated on Halloween. They'll usually take a poo when they get active, so when you take him out, it usually happens withing 5-10 minutes IF he's going to do it at all. If he start to seem uncomfortable, or stops eating, go for the warm soak and see if you can get things moving. But so far, with only 2 days, it should be fine.

As a suggestion, if he isn't going after a week or 1.5 weeks, give him some egg/banana. These are known to loosen things up. It'll be messy, but at least it'll be a poo.

Sue ... Tattoo went seven days without a poop when I first got him. BTS get travel irregularity just like humans. Just keep checking on him and make sure he has plenty of water. He will let loose on you soon enough.

woah i think my blueys are abnormal..we've had some spectacular performances in the last year (some very funny stories..such as the time jak went all over granny...but thats for another time ) but i don't think i've ever had more than 2 days without a poo, even when i first got jak and later garry...
