He might have been......but perhaps you havent seen it. As in ...buried in substrate, or..manky as it is..has eaten it??
Maybe make the bath water a little warmer....this can stimulate pooing. Check what others say first.
Maybe a fibre issue...not sure. It might not be much to worry about but see what other advice comes along...

yes good point there Rachael, it could be a change of diet if not getting as many weeds as usual. Salad/veg is lower in fibre. You could try chopping up some readigrass very fine & combining with his food to increase fibre.

He could be eating with out me noticing I normally bath him and then he does one but nothing lately could be change of diet, I imagine we've all had similar horrible weather to deal with I was just worried he might have a blockage lol x

I think if the temperatures are a bit lower than normal everything slows down

increasing baths can help it along
