Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. No real problem, but want to make sure of something. He appears to be a shy feeder and I have only witnessed him eat maybe 3 times. He appears plump even when relaxed ( sleeping ) so I don't think he's puffing up. He's pooping/peeing quite often. Is that enough to watch for? Is there anything else I should be trying or looking out for to make sure he's eating enough? He's very active so I'm sure he's getting around and seeing his food.
Thanks for your help.
