Rocky is not pooping.

I was worried because Rocky was not pooping, has not since I brought him home as far as I know. Granted he does have a dark patch around his mouth which could mean he's eating the poop. I know how I feel with my Crohn's disease when I don't poop for a while so I was worried.

I did research online and a few places said that he might not be pooping because he's dehydrated. Since I don't have a mister right now that is highly possible. One site suggested soaking him 30 minutes a day in lukewarm water to see if he starts pooping. His previous owner told me that he usually poops in his weekly soak.

At first I was thinking of putting him in the tub so that he would have lots of room to walk in the water. The issue with that is, because I like to multitask, I was doing laundry while researching so our small washing machine is in the bathtub right now. I was also baking a cake in one of those one time use only pans that have the plastic lids so now Rocky is soaking in a cake pan lid

Have to watch him because he keeps trying to get out
