On Monday, I chaned his diet because he wasn't getting as many fruit files...I watched and it seemed like they were too small and he had trouble seeing them. So I got him some pinhead crickets. The varied in size...some seemed too big for him to eat. There was also a small red roach in the group. I put him in a small tank with them to see what would happen, and right away he ate one of the larger crickets! I was surprised it fit in his mouth. I moved him to a separate tank and added the roach and one the smallest crickets. He ate them both without a problem. He looked full and happy. The next day I fed him two small crickets. He hasn't pooped since the first cricket feeding! On Tuesday I saw him attempt to poop about 3 times. He would squeeze with hs legs, and I could see the poop start to come out, but then it would go back in when he stopped squeezing. I haven't seen him attempt to poop since then and I haven't seen any around the tank. I am worried! What if it's too big to pass? What should I do?
