From the information you gave it just sounds like your blood has fecal matter building up. This is actually very common for bloods as they dont deficate regularly. Try soaking your animal in some slightly warm water for awhile, this should get the bowels moving. I reccomend doing this weekly with bloods as they seem to enjoy a good soak once in awhile. I assume your blood is going off feed for some other reason, possibly enviornmental stressors? Post some more info on your animal and the conditions you keep it in and we should be able to help you a little more.
