Feeding and excreeting difficulties in 1 year old

[woodnt]

I hate to admit, but we weren't giving him the baths we should have been. We have water in the viv and it goes down more quickly than evaporation would cause, so I was thinking he was drinking, but perhaps not. Looking back, I fear he got a little dehydrated. He looked good in those pics because he had a nice, long, tall drink in the bath we gave him a few days before the pics. The urates were normal thickness (little smaller than a #2 pencil) and were 1/2 to 1/3 the caliper of his stool width. His stool didn't seem harder than normal. I looked more carefully and didn't see any superworm parts in the stool.

He didn't want superworms tonight. That is a first ever, I think. He did have a little baby food butternut squash (we haven't been able to get the applesauce yet, but will still try this). Still, it was just a little bit. Not enough it should have at all filled him up. Color remains good. No disturbing behaviors. We'll keep watching and do better with our bathing.

Sometimes it happens Nathan, we all have busy lives, it can't be helped. Good that you didn't see any superworm parts, that shows he didn't have any problem digesting them.

I wouldn't worry at all about him not wanting supers tonight, he is probably just appreciating having cleaned himself out. Butternut squash is very good for them too. He sounds absolutely fine. I'm sure the prunes and everything else you did for him really helped, good job.
