Hello! Juno stopped pooping since we moved. She’s a little over 1 year. It’s been two weeks and one day since she’s gone. Since we moved she has gotten lethargic and seems to have brumation behavior. Paper towel substrate, proper UV, 90-100 basking spot, 70-80 cool hide. She seems happy, no stress marks, no abnormal behavior. Eats veggies everyday, 2-3 supers every other day, and dubias once a week Took her to the vet this past week. Ruled out impaction. She has been given 1-2 baths daily. Runs while she’s in the bath. Added pure pumpkin, applesauce, and olive oil to diet to help get her going! Still nothing! Is there anything else I can do? Should I be worried?
Juno not pooping! Tried everything!!

I used to have a bad pooper. The only thing I can add is this....
Definitely bath in a little warmer than usual, and do not let the water get cool. If you have time you can do this twice a day and for about 15-20 minutes. While in the bath massage the belly. I place both my hands to the back the the beardie, thumbs resting to the lower back at the base of the tail. With my index/pointer finger I would gently massage the right and left side of the belly from ribs to vent, over and over. With the other fingers free, my beardie would prop her legs up on them. Anyway, I would massage for up to five minutes, let her rest or swim for a few, and repeat. I would eventually get poop, but sometimes this would take quite a while. The longest Emmalee went without poop without brumating was 3 weeks!

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
