Hi so I’ve had Iris for 8 months and she has just began acting strange last week, she hasn’t pooped yet for about 2 weeks??? And I know this is worrying however I do not think she has impaction as she has no symptoms that could show it? Although she is on a sand substrate it could be possible, She will still run around my room when she’s out of her cage. She also is not eating greens although she may eat maybe one or 2 pieces of lettuce or pear when I feed it to her however most the time she will lick it and then not eat it after (she may be eating some lettuce when I am not looking tho) also she has a slightly sunken eye lid drooping down on her left eye? And she has also been acting very sleepy when in her cage as she will lay under her basking rock and just sleep during the day and whatnot. Also I have a question, if she is not eating greens and hasn’t pooped in 2 weeks should I feed her bugs as I haven’t fed her many bugs recently as I thought that could lead to issues as she wouldn’t have a balanced diet ( I’ve been giving her about 1-2 bugs every other day, locusts) she uses a 100w basking bulb and a uvb strip that has about 2 months left before replacement. I am really worried although she could be going Into brumation? Help would be really nice as I’m extremely worried and live far from a vet.
