hello!! I have a question about the mineral oil... Little blacky hasn't pooped since last Friday and it will be a week tomorrow!! She is eating still but a little bit less I guess. She is still moving around too but she goes to bed earlier now. I wonder what's happening? Before she was having soft poop and I started giving her TNT and some probiotics and she was fine for one week, and then now there is no poop!! I guess they are just like kids - poop or no poop, there is always problems
I was doing some research on the forum and many people talked about the 1-2 hr warm water bath or pumpkin or car ride or mineral oil? I will soak her for 20-30 min tomorrow, and do the long-hrs soak this Saturday (can't do the long hrs tomorrow because of work), but I also want to try the other stuff.
My two questions are:
1. What kind of mineral oil should I get? Is it something like this? I'm planning to mix it with Mazuri for her to eat it. Not sure if I'm brave enough to try to shoot it down her throat...

2. Blacky is a Hermanns. I've never fed her fruit because I thought Hermanns are not supposed to have fruit? The closest thing she ever had before was cucumber, but that was about 6 months ago.... Can I give her canned pumpkin? Not sure if pumpkin counts as fruit...? Also is it like this?

I know I'm supposed to get the canned pumpkin but not the pumpkin pie mix, but how do I know which one it is? This one says it's 100% pure pumpkin but got a pie picture on it...
Thank you for reading my questions. Any suggestions would help!! I hope this little trouble maker will be healthy soon.....
