Bath time for her may help her with her bowel movement

i wanna add that i know they can get ’plugged’ from eating bedding w/ their food-but that’s not the case here-i always feed her in a separate container(plastic shoebox size w/ papertowels in it)...

not sure i can get her to take a ’bath’ at his point-she’s usually very sweet, but for the past few days she’s been ’grumpy- i think she may get ready to shed again-or maybe she’s uncomfortable BC she’s constipated???!!!

Hi Odonata, I’m new to this site and not sure I should be posting help info but yesterday I posted with the same problem because we were really worried about it, and just about 15 minutes ago, we got a poop!! So good luck!

well-she finally ’went’! good grief!!! lol

tried to ’soak’ her yesterday-she absolutely refused to!!!went totally stiff and just hovered over the container(had dipped part of her in the water before and she came flying out of there)--water wasnt too warm either... it was pretty comical!
rubbed her belly for a while and when i checked this morning she had pooped!
pretty funny how preoccupied one can be w/ POOP!! lol always thought i just did that w/ my kids when they were litte...
