BLOATED BTS

desaix Aug 08, 2004 07:56 PM

Hello,
I left my bts with my parents for 6 weeks and since I came back, her body looks rounder and feels very puffy. She does poop sometimes, it's not nearly as often as before I left. I was told that her diet was the same as I fed her while I was away, except larger portions and more pinky mice. I've been back for about a month and am unable to significantly decrease her size by simply reducing her portions. Does anyone have any diet ideas? Could she have someting compacted in her? (To give a better picture, I feed her canned dogfood, fruits and veggies and vitamin suppliments).
Thanks!
Jen

Hi, Jen:
How often do you feed it pinkies? They may be the main reason for the weight gain. I would not give her any at all and just feed her lots of greens and lean meats with some fruit.
Let us know how things are going later on.
