  1. To help him on a bit put him in a bowl of warm water. only about an inch or water so that his feet still touch the bottom. this will help get him going. make sure he isnt stressed though in the water. if he is easy to handle give him your fingers to put his front legs on but keep the rest of him in the water.


  2. That may be normal.  Is he on sand?  Sand can cause impactions, as can any loose substrate.  He may be digesting.  If you're worried, you can put him in a shallow tub of warm water under direct supervison and allow him to soak 15 minutes per day.  This can help stimulate him and rehydrate him if needed.  How old is he?  My leo poops 2-3 times a week, depending on how often he eats.  

    Also, make sure his belly heat (from UTH) is 88-91F for proper digestion.

  3. what kind of substrate do you have in your cage?  some substrates can cause intestinal blockages.
