is he on any kind of substrate? my malis are on paper towels for various reasons and hugo is really bad about taking a poop and then walking through it. i always just assumed it was worse because there was no sand to stick to the poop but i am curious to know if it is just as bad with sand.
however, he gets "baths" more frequently than his cage mate. i stick him in some shallow warm water for a minute to loosen the dried poop on his stomach and then wipe him with moist paper towels till it is almost all gone and the switch to dry paper towels. when you are done be sure to really dry his tail because uros can get tail rot from trapped moisture
