quote: 'I just want to maake sure my lil girl hasnt got a stomach or anything' - i hope she has a stomach! haha

my guess is she is just taking in alot of nutrients from the mouse, so there isn't alot of waste? someone more experienced will be able to answer this better - just a guess!

Perfectly normal for hatchling poop to be tiny, it is why alot of people keep hatchlings on kitchen paper, much easier to find the poop
I didn't get what I thought of as proper poop until my two were on large fuzzies, now on small mice and no problem in finding the large deposits they leave me now
As Freddies mum said your hatchling is taking all it can from the pinkie and pinkies don't contain much that wont be utilised, so not much to poop out.

Pinkies have a higher percentage of digestible parts than larger mice. Poops from eating pinkies are normally smaller than from bigger mice (and not just because of the size difference). I wouldn't worry about it too much
