Need Help AGAIN, WTF won't...poop.

Try soaking for up to a half an hour in water that is between 78 and 82 F. I don't think 5 minutes is enough time.

I tried about 20 minutes today in warm water, when I pulled him out he was brown and angry. There was no feces in the water bowl and as soon as I put him back in his tank he went to sleep right where I set him. I'll try soaking him longer tomorrow, I think he's had enough for today, for some reason he really hates it when I soak him, in any temperature water.

Great news everyone!

Bruce FINALLY pooped!

I took him to the vet yesterday out of fear that this could be serious (also I had to take my dog, who's been very sick this past week), got some laxatives, fed them to him on a cricket and also off the end of a modified Q-tip (with the cotton part cut off) and he left me a large, healthy-looking present right in the middle of his rock bridge, where I could see it plain as day!

I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found Mr. Campbell had done it for me! So happy right now.

Thank you everyone for all your help and support (even though in the end all he needed was a laxative) and suggestions, even if they didn't work for my case. Now I can finally say that Bruce should be A-OK, 100% clean and free!

Also, some more good news.

I set up his new viv last night after coming home from the vet (took a good three hours to clean and set everything up) and uploaded some pictures of it to an album in my profile entitled "Viv setup/s", so if anyone wants to see Bruce's new and improved home, go check it out!

Just wanted to thank everyone again, this will hopefully be the last time I ever post a "help" thread on this forum. Instead I'll spend more time trying to help others, and shopping for a companion for Mr. Campbell...>>

Haha yes I do feel just like a new mommy with Bruce most of the time, he can be such a brat! XD

Haha he probably did, but he knew in the end he needed to just let it go before he exploded! Poor thing looked like he was about to right near the end.

Thanks so much for the reply, you really cheered me up! I hope he leaves me some nice presents in the days to come. ^ ^

So awesome to hear Bruce has finally left you a present. ;-)

Bruce's new home looks nice too. I bet he is glad to be moved in and more comfortable with his surroundings.
