My bloodred may have slugs, then again she may not. Can i palpate to somewhat determine this? I also am wondering what the average time is for slugs to be absorbed or passed? Is it about the same as for laying fertile eggs? Anything special needed on my part? Is it normal for them to not have BM during this time? Its been about 3 weeks without BM (unless my son cleaned one up.....not!) and 3 refused attempts at feeding. Everything else is normal.
