I hope i am just being an over-worrisome new hedgie owner. Hufflepuff is new to me... about 3 weeks. I was around every night his first week, but have been pet sitting for the last almost 2 weeks... i come home a few times everyday... take him out, feed him his beloved mealworms.

I noticed a day or two ago he doesn't seem to be eating much of his kibble. Today, i noticed he had two little hard brown/dark green poops.
I'm afraid he's constipated... and his lack of appetite for his kibble really concerns me. Now he's still interested in his mealworms.

Comments? Suggestions?

I've been giving him live mealworms that i've been raising. I gave him some pumpkin last night- the same kind i give to my dog for constipation/diarrhea ... but i awoke to find that he had put it all over himself... im really not sure how much he actually ate!

Thanks guys for your great advice! Things seem to have returned to normal...in terms of his poop issues. I may have found the cause:

Recently his food mixture of katz'n'flocken and chicken soup for the cat lovers soul light came to an end, and i had to buy more... but instead of buying both... i only bought the cat lovers one... so today i bought the katz'n'flocken.... he came right out of his sleeping bag and started chowing down!
