For seven months now, my beardie has pooped twice, and is barely eating. However, she if very fit. She sits on her rock all day, and doesn't seem to be sleeping. she is the happiest thing when I'm playing with her, though. We've taken her to a clinic and she's not egg bound. Suggestions?

Not enough information.
What did the vet say the issue was ?
What tests did they do ?

If she is not eating anything solid , don't expect to see her doing any poos , it's a simple equation.

Can you give us very thorough rundown on your husbandry and her setup , see my cheatsheet
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234738&p=1806050#p1806050
, it will give some clues for how to tweek things if your discover you have some issues in her husbandry or her setup (lighting, temperature).

Photos of her , and of her setup will help too.

Agreed, if she doesn't eat then she won't poop solids. But there is definitely a reason that she's not eating, and it's not brumation for 7 months, nor if she is playing and such.

Please answer all of the questions in the link about her, her enclosure, her lighting, her temperatures, etc. And explain what the vet did and said, as it is not normal for a beardie to not eat for 7 months, though we don't even know how old she is...Photos help too. Be as detailed as you can about your lighting and temperature zones, as the problems usually lie in the lighting and temps.

Thank you, but we figured it out! Cockroaches instead are making her eat + poo greatly! Thanks anyway!

That was a quick turn around ...

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
