New bredli juvie hasn't pooed in 6 days since she ate. I have heard about the warm water and massaging thing but how long would you guys give it until you go for a trip to the vet? And if so, does anyone know of a herp vet in alice?

Thanks,

Andy

It wouldn't hurt ringing the Desert Park, I'm sure they would know of any Herp vet in the area.

thanks mate, i'll do that. So you think it might be a good idea to take her to the vet?

Not important at all - they can quite normally go 2-3 weeks without passing a motion, sometimes longer.

if you think theres a serious problem with constipation (ie, a real blockage) u shud be able to feel a hard lump in its gut, kinda like an egg. this isnt from personal experience btw, just what iv read

G'day Andrew,
She could be coming up for a shed mate, in which case she probably won't poo untill she does. Check the record card to see how long since the last shed. Otherwise don't panic, it'll be fine.
Cheers
Mike.

great tips. thanks guys, just a bit over eager i guess. Looked at the records and saw that this is the longest she has ever really gone. Sigh of relief all round. Thanks again!
