hi not sure what to do with my little guy... He's about 6 weeks old i'm pretty sure as his eyes have been open over a week now and hie top teeth are starting to come out... His stomach is really fat today and he hasn't pooped. It's not hard but much bigger than normal. i've submerged him in water and still nothing... what do i do? He seems happy and is still hoppin around so i dont know if i really should be worried or not

once you answer GB's questions, we'll be able to help you more.

in the meantime, i would stop feeding formula and just stick with pedialyte until the little one poops. if 24 hours on pedialyte doesn't cause a poopy, we can switch him back to formula.

you could also try a few licks of yogurt. that would help his digestion.

good luck!

Thanks for your help guys! He pooped late last night and he's crawling everywhere! Playing and eating like nothing was ever wrong... I'm not exactly sure what he weighs but he's definitely gotten so much bigger since we got him 3 weeks ago and is doing so well and hes the sweetest most loving little guy ever!!! He runs around his cage up and down his ladders climbin up the bars and climbin all over us :crazy
