How Long????

I have a 5-6 mth old Mac

He was fed his first velvet mouse 2 days ago, he not pooped yet?

Normally with his pinkie (which he was still on from the pet shop) he would have done that by now.

Just a concerned first mum!!!!



Thanks to Scales and tails for advising me on the velvets!

RE: How Long????

If he struggles after that soak him in some luke warm water. That should relax the muscles and constipation will go POP.
