So I just recently moved into an apartment, and of course I brought Mandela. The first week I knew he would be stressed out so I wasn't surprised when he didn't poop for awhile, and after about a week he had the biggest and nastiest poop ever. But at least it happened right??
Well after that everything was fine, he's been active and eating and always wanting to be out and about, but I realized he hadn't pooped again so I was just watching him. This went on for another week until today, when I decided to put him in a bathtub of warm water and make him swim. About 20 minutes into the bath, he starts acting like he's going to poop but he's unable to?? So I lift him up and realize something's stuck...at this point my poop baby is pushing so hard it's like he's about to give birth so I started rubbing his belly in attempt to help. After about 10 minutes of this he finally drops two. Giant. Urates. GIANT. And they were completely rock hard
I have no idea why this happened. Is he not hydrated enough?! I've been giving him water and greens and his regular diet so I have no idea why he's now having issues ):
