I wouldn't be overly concerned at this point although he may be constipated or have the start of a blockage. Is it possible your mom overfed him? I notice you have him on sand which often causes blockages. I suggest you switch to a more proper substrate ( like indoor/outdoor carpet or newspaper). I recommend you try soaking him in warm water that may cause the bowels to start moving. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&catId=102919&id=7996830 ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
