im going to be scheduling my geckos for a fecal but i cannot seem to find any poop lately, just urates. they are new, only had them 4 days, but they are showing signs of parasites. what should i do if i cannot bring a poop sample to the vets? will they charge extra if they have to make them poop?
need a fecl done, but no poop?

im pretty sure the male is, he has been active during dusk, the female, not so much. quite a few bugs have gone missing as well, ill be tearing the tank apart within the next day and counting bugs, because i know exactly how many i put in there..i will be soon separating them as well so i know how much each individual eats.
I would give it till it comes to a week with no poop, then if still nothing go and buy some mineral oil. Dab it onto their nose with a q-tip(they will lick it off). Make sure they get enough and they should poop soon unless they are impacted. Mineral oil is a laxative that is safe for Leo's, just don't give them a dish of it, you don't need a whole lot.
