My baby bearded dragon is shedding,he started about 3 days ago. He eats 1 dubia or 2 worms a day but doesn't poop! He hasn't pooped in 2 days now,i am getting really scared that he is impacted,i am giving him baths every day. I don't know what to do!

Shedding can have an effect on their appetite and behavior. Since it looks like he has a full body shed going, my first guess is that's what's at play and he should return to normal after that's done.

When you offer bugs, do you offer as much as he wants in a sitting and he just takes 1 or 2? Or are you limiting him to those amounts? At his age, he will intermittently eat a lot, so I would offer small amounts of bugs but repeat until he loses interest. The actual amount he wants will vary.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
