Stones in my Eco Earth.

I hope to resolve all problems as well. Grif is a little constipated I believe since she hasn't pooped for about 2 weeks. If she has I haven't found it and given her size I think I would have seen her poop. I've been soaking her I warm water and massaging her side to help. So far nothing. Do night crawlers usually take longer to digest and pass? I gave her a pinky last week so maybe its why she is a little backed up. Hopefully it isn't caused by something in her substrate. I feed with forcepts to minimize soil ingestion but ofcourse sometimes they get too anctious and miss. Ithought about trying plantation soil/Eco Earth 50/50 mix. I thought George said they love it and its a good mix so I'm going to try that first. Sifting is probably going to be a must. I did call Zoo Med and I guess I'm going to get a free brick. I told them I was going tp call everytime I find rocks or other debree within my Eco Earth. This should be over a few months considering I have 6 bricks. Maybe this will fix the issue faster.

No, night crawlers don't take longer to digest. However, a pinky will take awhile to digest and break down depending on your pacmans size. I know you already keep your temperature at the requirements and your pacman gets frequent soaks from you. If you've been feeding them with tongs for most of the food they consume, then there shouldn't be a problem. It's possible he ingested too much dirt, but I don't thinks that's the case for you. Have you ever noticed runny stools you may have mistaken for coco fiber in the bowl or dirt?

Ok cool, that's a good approach. You can start sharing some of the love passing out free bricks. Haha no, kidding aside I think everyone should call Zoo Med so it becomes recognized in their company that they have too many customer complaints and need to fix the problem.

No worries. She went while I soaked her last night. I believe the problem was wax worm skins that weren't properly digested for some reason. They were 2 empty wax worm skins that looked like flat white bags. She pooped A LOT! Never found any runny stooles though. She has never had that problem. It may have been a combination of the pinky taking longer to digest and those wax worm skins. All is well now. BG said that night crawlers and earth worms are like stool softeners and actually make it easier for them to go. Ill have to watch what foods I combine from now on.
