Okay so I'm new to this website and have only been a beardie owner for about 2years but I feel pretty confident in my ability to take care of both of my beardies.
So this particular problem is about my 1 1/2 year old (Leto) and his recent bathroom problems. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago but his poop has significantly dwindled in size to being practically nonexistent. When he does poop his urate is completely normal but the poop itself is very small chunks and never one big piece. He poops about every other day and it remains to be like this.
As far as impaction/other outside forces go when I said I have 2 beardies they are housed separately but both in 40gal tanks. They both use the pet carpet so there's no sand or anything like that. Leto has the reptisun UVB bar and a heat light on his hot side. He is eating normally considering he's never had a big appetite per say but he has a daily salad (bi-daily dusting) and he's not into crickets. I have recently started feeding him baby squash in hopes of better freeing him up and doing 3x weekly bathes
I don't believe that this is impaction due to there being no curves/bumps on his back or side. He doesn't seem particularly lethargic but he is pretty lazy in general. I also haven't noticed any weight loss. If anyone has any idea what I can do to ease his constipation please let me know. Thanks!!
