Now I may just be paranoid but humor me anyways.

Artemis is a pooper. She poops everywhere in her cage (she has only pooped once out side of it) so to help with my clean up I tried a litter box. needless to say it was in there for 2 nights and I think that on the second night she ate a little. she wasn't as active, there was almost no poop in the cage and a little of what looked like some throw up. She hand't eaten as much as normal. I was a little concerned but she seemed to be fine, the next night things were back to normal. She ran a marathon on her wheel, she ate more, and again poop everywhere.

However tonight there was only 3 poops and she only ate half what she usually does. But she was VERY active. She is still awake, just ate more and drank.

Am I overly concerned, would a bath loosen up anything not flowing? or is there anything I can give her?

What type of litter was it? I wouldn't worry too much. If she is pooping 2 nights later chances of a bowel blockage are slim.

If you're concerned, give her a bath. It won't hurt and will put your mind at ease. :)

I put a water dish in Spiny's house last night (he now has both a water bottle and a water dish) and I think he was a little upset that his stuff was moved around and he didn't poop that much. He's funny like that though. And it's happened before that when I touch his stuff, there just isn't that much poop in the morning.
augh... I can just imagine what kind of a hissy fit he's going to throw when I take away his dish-towel blankies and replace them with a hedgiebag. (I'm excited!!)
