Defecating too often?

[Zoe]

My ETB has been defecating every one to two meals... she is bit over a year old and eats a small mouse or fuzzy rat every two weeks.

Should I feed her more often?

I would say feed her less often. I feed mine every 3 weeks and he deficated every 4 meals.

ZOE:

I have adults and 2 year olds as well, for most of the time my adults eat every 2 weeks a medium rat and deficate every 2 meals, my 2 year olds eat every week 2 adult mice or a small rat and deficate every 2 - 3 meals.

Are your temps and humidity right?

Are the meal sizes right for the ETB?

Is the cage set up with good size branches for proper digestion?

Cya...

Zoe,

We feed our yearlings about every 10-12 days. There is nothing wrong with her going every 1-2 meals. In fact, that's great. They just MUST GO after every 3 meals to prevent possible prolapse. After about 18 months we take them down to every two weeks.
