I have a male bearded dragon that is about 2 years old, adopted from a rescue. I just got him about 2 months ago. I'm concerned because he hasn't pooped in about 3.5 weeks. He eats mostly veggies (collards, mustard greens, cilantro, butternut squash). I give him medium dubias twice a week dusted in calcium. He is on tile in a 75 gal glass tank, with temp range from 75-95F (measured with digital IR thermometer). I have a reptisun 10.0 HO, a halogen flood, and a ceramic heat emitter. All lights turn off at night except the ceramic heat emitter. He really dislikes baths (frantically scrambles to get out the whole time), but I have been trying to give him a bath about once a week in warm water and rub his belly when I do. Before this, he was pooping about every 2 weeks. I can't feel any hard lumps in his stomach, but his belly is starting to look pretty full. I got him to take a couple droplets of olive oil yesterday, but still nothing's happened. He isn't eating many of his veggies, but a couple days ago when I fed dubias he ate about 15, and otherwise seems to be acting normal - he basks, he walks around some, he looks alert, he even eats a few pieces of veggie. He's also shedding right now, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What else can I do? Is it time to go to a vet?
