burmating poo

[tgolden]

So my beardie ra is going thru his first burmation. He has been staying in his rock unless I get him out. I take him out ever few days to give him a soak to stay hydrated. I will offer him some worms which he well eat a couple. I put him back in his viv on his basking log and after a minute or two he goes back into his hide. He has not pooed in over a week. Not even in the bath after a belly rub. Should I stop feeding till he"goes"?

if your beardie isn't eating as much as he normally would, then he won't need to poop as much, I wouldent worry too much.

A reptile burmating with food in they're system is not a good thing lol anyway I got him to poo today after a soak. I took his hide out so he had no choice but to bask for a while. When I put it back in he even stayed out another hour basking.

ah that's good, it was bound to come out eventually anyway, just obviously needed a little more encouragement!
