Baby dragon impacted?!

[MusikalMadness]

I had been feeding my bearded dragon phoenix worms over the weekend because I had run out of crickets. Lately he has been pooping about 2 times a day with normal looking stool but today he hasn't pooped at all and I'm worried. Could the crickets have impacted him? He didn't eat very much today either. Only a couple crickets and he usually eats around 50 total.

Should I give him a couple drops of olive oil just in case?

Thank you! As soon as I was coming upstairs I noticed that he pooped, so I'm glad.

When you say compact, is it a compact UVB? If so, you should remove it because they are harmful. Also, it's a good thing you're ordering a Reptisun 10 because the Reptiglo 10s can cause severe eye problems. Good thing he pooped!

It's like.. a spot light. Yes, it's UVB. The sunglo. Why are they bad?

There's an article here: http://www.uvguide.co.uk/phototherapyphosphor-info.htm
You don't need so much UVB. The Reptisun is fine alone.

On the box it just said it was a basking light. Is that UVB?

Oh, ok, the sunglo mercury vapor. That is fine, but you only need one or the other. MVBs are very strong and it would be unhealthy to have both lights in one enclosure.
