Baby food to promote bowl movements?

[MotherOfDragons9789]

My beardie has been impacted and I took her to the vet for it. The vet gave me some remedies and one of them is to feed her baby food. I was just wondering if there's any certain baby food that will promote her having a bowl movement better than others?

There have been many tips on the site to help promote dragons having a bowel :wink: movement.
Some that I have heard were squash/pumpkin (no spices) baby food, unflavored apple sauce, and if they are older, a few drips of vegetable oil that they can lick off their nose to help move things along

In addition, keeping her well hydrated by dripping water on her nose for her to lick up may help her move things along.

I have used an even mix of prune juice and olive oil for any apparent back ups.

Thank you guys so much. I just picked up baby food, prune juice, and olive oil from the store. I've been doing everything else for 2 weeks now. Let's hope this works. These forums have been so helpful to my little girl. If anyone else happens to read this, she excreted some clear mucus and tiny bit of poop. Anyone know what this mucus means? A sign of progress I hope.

It's probably just mucous buildup around a blocked poop. I'd think of it as progress. Hopefully she passes the blockage soon and without complications.
