After a meal, how long will it take a juvie to defecate usually? I fed mine Friday afternoon and it defecated last night. Thought this might be a little quick? Thanks in advance.

Does sound a little fast, could it be from a prior meal?

Well she fed on 6/30, defecated on 7/2, shed 7/13. Fed her on 7/14 and she regurged the hopper. Didn't try to feed her again until 8/1 (increased temps and moved tank to more quiet area) and she took two fuzzies. She had no bulge in her body, so I'm thinking it might just have been a quick defecation (I hope at least.) She seems to have kept a little weight too. I am taking her to a vet soon and should have probably kept the thing for testing, but flushed it on instinct. Didn't smell like the regurge either.
