Its been like almost a month, and my snake has consumed 4 mice, and he still hasnt pooped. I would appreciate any suggestion, and advice.
Thank you

this is a picture of my burm eating

Hi,
Dont worry when there that small they dont go but every 3-4 weeks depends on how much you feed them it all go to growth.
i have 4 burms and a baby right now and she does the same thing.

I've got one just under a year old and when she was young she did the same thing. She ate 1 or 2 small to medium rats a week and only dropped a load every month or two. I believe it is mostly used up in the growing also.

I'd be more concerned about feeding a growing burm a mouse a week more than the pooping thing.
Seems like an awfully small meal for such a fast growing animal.
Growth, especially at the rate a burm grows requires fuel.
Fuel=Food.
I think it was Charles Bronson that said it in a movie once...
Ya don't eat much, ya don't poop much.
Something to think about.

A small burm should be eating small rats nutritionally they are better for them and feeding once a week one apropriate sized rat would be good for starters . And the comment about feul= food and the dont eat dont poop thing is one way to put it
