From July 02 to July 03 Ghans has defecated 13 times.
Usually once a month or with every shed. Also usually once for every 3 meals.
Cheers,
Trevor

Mine urinates 2-3 days after his meal, I haven't noticed much poop from him though. Is that normal?

Yeah it's normal Monty. Don't worry, only worry if your ball stops eating and hasn't pooped in about 6 weeks, then he/she is probably constipated. Usually all you need to do is place it in warm water and massage the tail area gently...just the bit of extra info in case you need to know what to do in the future.

Before you can say it's normal you need to know when the last time it defficated was.
