Baby Hermanns not pooping!!
Posted: 06 Feb 2022, 22:56
Hi all, sorry another newbie post!
So have had my adorable 6month old Hermanns for 16days and he is yet to poop which is worrying me! Eating is also an issue, where I have been researching we should put calcium on his fresh leaves everyday (and nutrobol a couple times a week) however he will not touch his food with it on, so sometimes I give in and give him some bits like curly kale with nothing on in the hope he will get some…….also have cuttle fish which I smear with cucumber but won’t touch it! So currently I bath him daily and he has a nice wee but he is yet to poop 16days on and So naturally I’m panicking!! Im booked in with vet for general check up but it’s not until Tuesday………. He is in a table with coco coir as substrate mixed with tortoise life bio which the shop provided. He is under a mixed lamp, with a basking temp of 32 and about 21 degrees at the other end, no heat at night. He has loads of plants in with him but hasn’t touched them. When should I be worried? Is there anything I should be doing differently?? Thanks in advance!!
