Constipated?

Just a question -

I fed my male bredli on the 6th June with a day old chicken and wormer, because id recently got him and found out he had been fed pigeons etc so I thought it would be best to worm just in case.

He still hasn't passed anything - he's had day and night heating for this whole time. It is possible he's absorbed most of it? As for him it was a very small meal, I didnt think it would take this long to digest and pass.

Would it be safe to turn off the night heating, seeing as he would have digested by now but just has to pass it?

Hi Vixen,
If he is eating pigoens, a day old chicken is very small and he may have absorbed it all.
When I feed my BHPs a small meal, they dont always pass any waste. May not be worth the effort.
Its been 4 weeks so he has digested it, Its safe to turn off the night heating IMO.
