i know the good news was really short lived, but i have run into another problem with petrie. i ahve been out of town since about 9:00 on thursday night. i had a friend watching my animals for me. petrie started eating really well while i was away. she was feeding him 2 or more times aday. when i got home today at about 5 (monday) i went in to look at him. he was so bloated. i soaked him in a bath to try and get him to go poop, and he tried, but was straining really hard. a little bit came out. it looked like it should be the big peice of poop, but nstead came out in a soft bit about the size of a dime. that was all that would come out. no egg white like stuff, no white stuff. when i went to pour out his water, i found seeds at the bottom of his "tub." this worries me. they are very small, brownish black to black in color. with like a smooth glossy surface. they are about the size of a 0. i am worried that maybe he got into something in my room. i have no idea where he could have gotten seeds from. there aren`1t any in my room, at least to my knowledge. i think myabe he is just dehydrated and is having trouble getting his poop to come out. i am going to give him syringes of water. and hopefully he will poop tomorrow so i don`t have to worry. please help if you can. if you can maybe tell me what kind of plant the seed came from, or what i can do to get him to poop, i would be very thankful.
thanx in advance,
meagan ( worried mom of petrie)
