: Its tough to tell, you seem to be doing all right, have you brought him to the vet yet? Mayhaps a stool sample should be in order. It is possible that your Ig has some sort of parasite/bacteria that the vet can clear up which is stunting your igs growth.
: You also mention 20+ veggies & fruits, what do they consist of? You may also consider getting a bigger cage, when your Iggie gets a little bigger he'll need a bigger cage!: Thanks

Vet have checked his feces already and there was nothing wrong with it.. Temps: I use 25 w lamp in basking areas, but then I asked some people about my igs pooping ( temps were around 35- 37 then )and to my amazement they told me that my ig needs more degrees to bask ( they suggested 42 C!!!, but I didn�t listen them )Actually the temps are around 37- 39 C now..
My ig has had the same poop problem from the beginning, when I got him.
Bathwater temps are between 26- 35C I think.I have to check when I bath him next time. Is it too hot or what ? should I list all the foods what I give him here ? My friend gives his ig exatly same fooditems as I do, but his ig has growed normally and he poops everyday ! And of course I will make bigger cage for him when he grows !
