Normal Time For Eliminations?

Dan6971 Mar 31, 2006 10:10 AM

I have had "Fluffy" since October 19th, 1005 and I am trying to figure out how long after feeding it should take for his eliminations...

Here is a brief, recent history of events...

1.) February 11th, 2006: Eats Fuzzy Mouse

2.) February 17th, 2006: Eliminates

3.) March 23rd, 2006: (40 Days After Last Feeding) Eats First Hopper Mouse

fluffy might not "eliminate" at all. Given that it is still growing, and went off feed for two months she may absorb more than usual. On the other hand there is really no timeline, it will depend if this feed causes her to go into a shed, in which case she probably won't do anything until afterward. Carpets on average go about four to seven days after they eat if I had to qauntify it. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as temps and humidity are good, and she has fresh water, going longer periods shouldn't cause any worry.

Well, the one time he shed with me, he also eliminated the same evening.

I'm assuming the temperature and humidity are OK. He seems to be acting normally.

It's just been 8 days or so and I was wondering how much longer it would be.

With every feeding, he is growing - so that may just be the case.
