8 month old bearded dragon

[Scion19801]

i would say stop the mealworms due to the beardie being under 1yr old.

As far a pooping, you can try to do warm water soaks in 90-95 degree water, that always works for my two adults.

mealworms outer shell is a bit much for younger beardies to digest and can cause impaction issues. crcickets are good, dubia roaches are the best.

you said initially you were dusting daily, i would drop that to every other day.

He looks pretty small for an 8 month old. I suspect husbandry issues as well. What country are you located in? I can help you out with some links if you're in the U.S.. You should also read this it has a lot of information. https://www.facebook.com/download/preview/480826109333793

You can try a warm bath to get him to poo. If that doesn't work you can try some prune baby food. Make sure there isn't anything else added on the ingredients list.

Yeah unfortunately the starter kit comes with a lot of junk for our dragons

But if you can upgrade to the tube that would be fantastic for your dragons health.

I've asked 4 times now about your thermometer lol. Temperatures are the most important part of our dragons health. And temperature directly relates to digestion and therefore the potential for impaction. So it's crucial that you're using an accurate device to measure your temps. Otherwise, it might be too cold to properly digest, or too hot and your dragon won't bask long enough to digest properly.

When I went to some pet stores (not petco or petsmart) some of them recommended the started kit but I did not buy it. One because there would be stuff I would still need to buy, two lots of the stuff is not suitable
