Bowel Movment frequency?

How often do Ball's usually have bowel movments? I think mine is going on about 3 weeks since I've seen urate or fecal matter anywhere in his cage. He is kept in between 50 - 60% hummidity at all times, given fresh water every other day, has a hot side of 90 - 95 and a cool side of 80-85. I was checking him over this morning and I was weighing him and makeing sure everything was ok, he has gained 100 grams since I last weighed him which is good but I noticed that at the back near his vent it seemed a little red. A very small hint of red from under his scales almost. I tried to take a pic.



Over the past 3 weeks he has had 1 pinky rat and 2 - 50 gram rats. The week before he was treated with nix diluted in 4 L of distiled water for mites. I also soaked him in the nix solution which I later found out was not a good idea in case he ingested some. I've not 100% sure if he did or did not ingest some of the nix solution but when I was soaking him I barely put enough in that it would cover his whole body. Should I do something like try and give him a soak in luke warm water or am I just being overly paranoid again?
