my burm is just 6months old, and he's feeding great, everything else about him is fine. Only problem is he doesn't relieve himself. I've massage it out of him for the past couple months, the uric acid rocks are massive and blocking the path. whenever he's extremely bloated, i apply a light pressure to his underbelly and he then forces himself through the gap which indirectly forces the rocks out. Humidity is 50-60% at all times, heat from lamps are leaving the ambient temperature at 80f low side and 88f high side, everything is good. has anyone here had a similar issue and found a cure? the next step is to slow the feeding regimen to every 7 days, 1 large rat, he's about 4 foot long. I know it cant be good to force the rocks out of him. any help will be very appreciated. thanks again.
