My little boy is having a bit of an issue pooping. This morning when he was running around, he only did 3 poops. Since then, he hasn’t done any. There was only what looked like half/quarter of a poop stuck to his anus, which I wiped away with a warm cotton pad. This happened again, which I also wiped away. But since then, which was a couple of hours ago, he hasn’t pooped once (I can tell because his cage was cleaned out this morning). He has a constant supply of fresh hay, he gets grass, a multitude of veggies and some pellets. What is wrong with our little guy and how can we help in the meantime, before his vet appointment?
 
@danuutka Has he lost any weight recently?

It could be many things from dental issues to bloat to the hear causing problems.

How much is he eating?
