Normal not to poop while shedding?

Hey everyone! Bones has been going through a shed lately and he's pretty much done, just with his back now. But, I noticed he hasn't pooped in two days. He has been eating normally. He's still very active and runs around. I was going to try a nice warm bath and rub his belly tomorrow morning after he woke up.

Am I just being a little paranoid?

2 days, I wouldn't worry too much. As they grow their pooping habits start to change. If it's been 3 weeks then I might start to worry.

Awesome. I'll keep a close eye on him. It's bath day today anyway, so maybe that will help. Thanks again!

Update: Great news! The day after I posted this he pooped. Looks like he's going every other day now. Today he even went twice! Thanks again!
