Blocked up Stimi

[Gasman]

I have Stimi approx 2yrs old. Last fed 114 days ago and still hasn't passed faeces. He normally goes 5 to 7 days after eating.

No visible obvious lumps or bumps but I can feel a very small lump in the base of his tail about 0.5 to 1 cm from his anus.

As of today his has just gone into pre shed.

Anything I should be doing about this possible blockage.

Cheers Gasman

It's not a blockage, it's quite normal. It will probably crap when it sheds.

I bet it is hungry. Was it definately 114 days since the last feed or is that a misprint? But as mentioned they normaly hold of pooping till they shed.

why so long without food?

is it refusing to eat or are u waiting for a poo first?

Some adult stimmies wont eat year round, We have a few here that only eat 2-3 months of the year. Quite normal.

Yes misprint should be 14 days. He seems to be going ok this is the first time he would have shed since I have had him. Probably an over worried new parent.

They usually have a nice big poo with their shed.

Mine like to do secret poos. I really have to have a good look every couple of days just in case they have stashed one somewhere. Maybe they like to keep a tidy house or something.
