I have a baby bearded dragon about 5 inches ( body and tail) and she started to pig out yesterday and today, she's been eating a lot. This morning i put her in some warm water and she pooped. I realized yesterday that her belly has gotten really big. I felt a spot on her stomach and one side of her stomach is a bit hard. I've massaged it to try to see if it'll help. She passes normally, her poop is normal. Should i continue to give her baths and massage the area? Is she just a bit bloated from pigging out for two days?
How long should i wait? I'm worried for her :cry:

when you are feeling the belly, is it hard down her right hand sind, in the lower half? This is where her bowels are so if you can feel it in there a few good baths and maybe some olive oil to help it pass! just make sure the feeders are no larger than the space between her eyes and you only feed her as much as she can eat in 10-15 min three times a day.

Alright thanks! She's basking right now, i'll be giving her a bath in about 20 minuets or so. i just want her to get in as much heat as possible so she can digest.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
