Last monday I moved out of my moms house into my own apt, leaving Otis behind until I can finish his new habitat. I h ave visited twice since, sunday nite being the most recent, and he seems fine (active, good color, ate both out of the bowl and my hand). However my mom just informed me he hasnt pooped since thursday and isnt finishing his food. He usually poops every day/day and a half, and only leaves small scraps behind. Nothing has changed except my absence. Is is possible its effecting his behavior? My dog used to act in a similar manner when we went away.
