A, Mine only go every 4-6 weeks or when they shed.
B, Small mice are probably a bit small for an 8 month old Royal.
C, Welcome to the forum

Some poop more regularly than others so don't panic yet, I agree with BE above maybe try larger food like rat weaners at 8 months old, mine have just transitioned at 5 and 6 months old, I am only feeding mice to my young pastel but she too will be on rat weaners as soon as her size is right.

yeah normally only every few weeks here to. i know that some shops when selling them say they will go every week but you'll find that is not the case in reality.
