Hello I'm worried about my 4 month old male bearded dragon. He is currently asleep and petted him on the tummy . He has this hard lump on his belly close to his ribs. He ate 1 super worm and 1 dubia roach. The super worm and dubia roach were pretty big and he pooped today also. He developed this lump after he ate. Is it the food being digested or is he becoming impacted? Very worried about my beardie.
What kind of substrate are you using?
He is more likely to be impacted if you are using a loose substrate such as sand.
I'm not as experienced as other members here, but my personal best guess is that it's probably just the food digesting, especially if he's only developed it after eating. I would keep an eye on it and bathe him in some warm water to help stimulate him to poop.
Hi. How big is she? Superworms are for beardies 16 inches. Make sure the feeders are no bigger than the space between the eyes. Also she needs 2 hours of basking time after she eats.
