Hi There,
I have a beardie who is about 13 weeks old. We got him at about 5 weeks. Until the last 9 days, he was perfect. He eats a ton. He would eat superworms in the morning for the first few weeks, then buffalo worms in the morning, then superworms again about 2 weeks ago. Then he'd get a little greens. Then we were feeding him crickets once, and changed it to twice like a month ago. He eats like a champ, is very active. Doesn't look in pain or anything. And pooped once a day.
Like 10 days ago, he stopped pooping. I waited till day 3, then would massage him in warm water then it came out. After that, 3 more days. Right now, i'm on day 3 tomorrow. It just started. (Note: After the first constipation, i stopped the superworms cause i know people say don't feed them much.)
Nothing else appears wrong. Appetite is good, activity is good. Doesn't appear to be distressed at all. He has a little shedding going on, but it's not the first time (he's shed often actually). He still loves his mealtimes, he chases crickets like it's an olympic sport.
Any thoughts? Is there something we are doing wrong? We aren't doing anything different than we were when he was pooping daily.
