Impaction treatment besides baths

[MariePey]

I should have had more faith in the honey bath, it worked well. But I'd still like to hear about other treatments in case impaction becomes an issue in the future and baths do not resolve it.

Poor Bonk. The only thing he hates worse than being handled is being put in a plastic shoebox. He jumped, hard, and headfirst into the lid. I'm surprised he wasn't stunned.

That will be my next step with Gigs..... hopefully i get the same luck if no poop by tomorrow..

Did you guys stop feeding your WTF till they pooped?

Nope, I didn't. Just offered less food and fed every other day. Jelly finally went without the honey bath, same thing as Bonk, a small piece of poo. By the time I found it it was pretty hard, don't know if it came out that way or not. Jelly's looking less bloated now and is voracious. Never did stop eating though.

Hope Gigs goes soon!

I didn't stop feeding mine, though I fed him less. I stuck with small feeders. Soft feeders like earthworms or hornworms would have been better though.
