It sounds as though you're concerned that Cooper may have an intestinal obstruction/blockage from eating everything he can find. The most common signs of an obstruction include vomiting, lethargy and inappetence, so if you observe any of these changes, he needs to go to an ER vet immediately. If Copper is otherwise eating, drinking and acting normally, consider adding a small amount of canned pure pumpkin (not pie filling!) to his diet to see if the added fiber helps him to have a bowel movement. If he still hasn't had a bowel movement by tomorrow, he should see his vet for signs of constipation. I assume that Copper is urinating normally, but if he has not urinted today, he needs to see an ER vet immediately.
