Hello, If he is eating well and his feces is formed, I would not be worried about how often he defecates. I only get concerned if it is associated with him becoming constipated, in pain, experiencing diarrhea, etc. A higher frequency of bowel movements alone is not associated with any disease processes. :) I hope this is helpful!
