I have a male bearded dragon that is 6-7 months old. I noticed today, that he had not really pooped, so I decided to give him a bath to try and help him along. Almost immediately, he began to strain and pass stool, but he also seemed to slip some of his internal organs through his Cloaca. Luckily, these organs seemed to recede back inside almost immediately, and he seemed fine afterwards, but it was still a shock for me, as I have never had to deal with anything like this for any of my other reptiles.
His diet mainly consists of phoenix worms, carrots, and peas, which are all high in fiber if I am not mistaken. Am I giving him too much fiber, or is there an underlying medical condition that could be to blame? Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening again? I have fallen on hard times recently, and I would rather avoid having to pay for a veterinary visit if it can be avoided.
