Oscar has not pooped in about a week. I have given her warm baths everyday and have have massaged her stomach a bit. It is extremely squishy and fatter then usual She does not have sand in her enclosure. She hasn’t really been eating either unless it’s green beans out of my hand.

Hello,

How old is Oscar?
Can you review your tank setup for us, such as the type/brand of UVB lighting, the temperatures,
types of foods she is eating, just to be sure it's all correct for her.
Has she ever laid infertile eggs?

She just turned one on October 1. We have a Zoomed reptisun 10.0 UVB. The temperatures in her tank are usually 85-100. She has not laid infertile eggs. We give her green beans and kale everyday. She gets sweet potato and cooked ground turkey rarely. She gets carrots and apple a few times a week.

<<<< when do you feed her live insects ? and what kind ?
... at 12 months old she is still growing strongly and needs 1 feed of live insects per day + salad.

What substrate is she on ?

When you handle her / nurse her can you feel any hard lumps in her tummy ? = BAD

Does she often go for several days between poos ?

Have you tried offering 0.4 ml of olive oil by syringe ?
Other natural mild liguid / purees that have laxative properties ?

Is she BBing ? lethargic ?

I'd cut back on the solids from now til she poos, don't want them adding to the impaction . Liquid / slurry type foods for now.

She has tiles in her tank. She does get crickets everyday with calcium powder. She usually poops everyday or every other day. She has seemed lethargic but that has benn going on before this.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
