Try checking inside his house as they will normally do lots of poos in there. Look for fresh ones round the doorway or even in his sand bath if he has one. Also check whether his tummy is bulging. I took Toffee to the vet when I thought he was constipated and she gave him an injection of painkillers and some 'complan' type food. He was hunched over and appeared to be 'straining'.

You could try giving him some probiotic yoghurt to lick off your finger tonight and take him to the vet tomorrow if you're still worried. Better to check it out and set your mind at ease.
