how long does it take?

newinside Jul 07, 2004 07:28 AM

Can anyone tell me how long, generally, it takes for food to, um, work all the way through the system? Basically, once my leo eats, how long should it be before I see it again, in a somewhat different form?

usually mine poop within the day
I feed them around 5 and they do their business during the night or before bed ish so 11-12

Thanks.

I have a young blizzard that stopped eating for a few days. He finally had some crickets last night and I wasn't sure if it was normal for them to go through the system as fast as they did. It seems to fit with what you said. I guess I am just extra sensitive since I was pretty worried about the lack of eating. Lets hope that he keeps it up.

I have to tell you... I have never seen a question of that sort put so delicately and amusingly. Thanks for one of the best reads tonight!
