My bearded dragon is 14 months old and she has not pooped in a week. She usually poops about twice a week. I do not know what caused this, she eats about 15 dried crickets 4 times a week, along with some salad which she eats every day consisting of collard greens, bell peppers, and squash, I do mix up the salad choices every week but this is what she ate this week. I am using the 100-watt powersun bulb in her tank and the bottom is layered with paper towel. I have also been letting her soak in some warm water for about 15 minutes. What can I do? Should I take her to the vet? Thank you and please respond. :)

Has she been straining at all like she's trying to poop? Right now I'd say just keep her well hydrated and keep up with the soaks. If she's not lethargic or symptomatic of impaction, I wouldn't be super worried yet. Also, I'd suggest you stop feeding dry crickets and switch to live feeders instead. They don't need as much protein at 14 months, but they are still growing, and dried crickets don't have a lot of nutritional value.


Ok, thank you! :)

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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 💔
