    Hey there, I just wanted to check back in. We switched the substrate completely and also bought some of that calcium powder. So I am a bit concerned still. When we first got him he was impacted and with many honey baths and gutting all the substrate out of the cage he pooped - but when he was impacted that time he did not even want to eat, he rejected it at all costs. This time around he wants to eat. He is not rejecting food and as soon as he is brought out of his habitat that is what he is expecting. With the cocofiber substrate it is making it hard for me to tell if he has went or not but I fed him a super small pellet today with some of the calcium. Attached are some pictures:

    So this is the new setup with new cocofiber substrate


    And this was him a few days ago with the new subtrate


    Now here is him today - is he still impacted? The fiance says that he is looking a lot better, and like I said - it could just be my own anxiety, but I just want to make sure we are taking care of him properly. He is looking better and the skin is more loose and less engorged, but what do you think?

    Hi, ya he looks fine now man you could give him something to eat. Sometimes they will stop eating and sometimes they don't know any better and they will just keep eating. with the cocofibre ya its a little more hard to find the poop but you should be able to find it if he went. If hes moved check the old hole, when they poop in there hole they move to make another. Or if hes very active just skim your hand across the substrate or what ever you use to pick up the poop, sometimes they will cover it by walking over it while exploring at night. When they get bigger this doesn't happen as much because they literally become lumps on a log and lose that baby energy. All in all he looks better and actually looks nice and healthy from the new pictures so ya I would let him eat.
