Bath time + Poop Time

Status
Not open for further replies.
So, I'm going to guess it's because of the changes in weather messing with his metabolism, but Hiu has stopped pooping every single day. He is still pooping, he pooped today after two whole days of holding it in. And before that, he had gone a day and a half holding it in.
Both times, he pooped in his bath.
So, I figured I'd ask on here, is it ok if I just let him combine bath time with poop time, and give him a bath maybe every two or three days?
He doesn't poop right away, it takes him a minute or two, so he does get some time in to actually soak and let me use the tooth brush on his dry skin a bit.
It would be fairly useful come the wet winter time, as I most likely won't be taking him outside again until mid spring, when the humidity is lower and the temperature higher.
Just figured I'd make sure, so I don't accidentally get him sick or something!

As they get older it's common for them to poop less frequently and be able to hold it for a while if they want to. If he needs a bath anyway and it doesn't seem to stress him out you can combine poop time with bath time. Otherwise I'd just start a routine that he can follow. They tend to respond well to that. Darwin gets time to bask in the kitchen, then breakfast, then he gets to roam around the house after he poops. After a while he got used to that routine and it winds up being pretty straightforward. Some days he doesn't poop but the routine stays the same so he goes during that window when he has to.

Alright. I've been uncertain about setting up routines with him because I am trying to get a job, which might force me to change things. And he certainly doesn't mind bath time, I think I'll keep up like this for now, until I know what MY schedule is going to be like in the next month or two. :/

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
