Hi, my name is Justin, and i recently got a baby bearded dragon(about 6 inches). When i first got him in the mail he was eating on small dubia(roughly 1/4inch) and his greens(kale, collard greens, and mustard greens) like a kid in a candy shop, and after i cleaned his tank a few days ago i have noticed he hasnt went to the bathroom since i cleaned it, and he refuses to eat anything. He has use in his back legs, but his back legs are weak, and he keeps one of his eyes closed at all times(its always the same eye) I removed the coil uvb bulb i had in the tank because i read those were bad for their eyes. I dont know if there is anything else i can do to help get rid of the impaction. I've been giving him 2 warm baths a day for the past 2 days and massaging his abdomen to try to help loosen it up, but so far it hasnt helped. I dont know if there are any other "home remedies" per say that anyone else has found to help them pass the impaction or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i dont have anyone really experienced with herps in my area, only vets that say "they will see reptiles" so if it comes down to it i might have to take him and hope they can help him, but with them only saying they will see them sounds like they just see them to get the money. Any other info you want just let me know... Thanks everyone.
