Hi,
My beardie is about 1year & 7 months old, weighs 590g and is generally healthy.
In the recent months his eating has slowed down alot but he has sustained a healthy weight so I'm guessing this is just him now reaching adulthood.
For the last 2 months he has gone from pooping every few days to once every week sometimes even 2 weeks, the longer he goes without going the more sluggish and tired he seems and he just sulks under his hide in his cool area refusing to bask, he doesn't want to come out of his viv etc, then when he finally poops he is hyperactive again and wants to explore.
His diet has always been the same, relatively small locusts along with a salad every day, his temps are fine and i feed him water through a droplet a few times a week. he baths once per week also.
I dont think it's impactation because he eventually goes, but it is taking a very long time and clearly causing him a bit of grief. Today I tried feeding him some olive oil in a pipette, im hoping this will work.
Im wondering if anyone has any idea what's going on with my beardie? his stomach isnt swollen or anything, vent area looks fine, he's almost behaving like a brumating dragon but in the middle of summer, I am worried :?
Thank you
