Bearded dragon not pooping?

Hi, my bearded dragon went through her first brumation a couple months back, and at first I freaked out because even though I had done a ton of research, I'd never heard of brumation. Anyway, she ate a fair bit before going to sleep, and didn't do a poo before officially falling asleep. I decided about 3 months in that it was about time she woke up, and I just really wanted her to do a poo, since at that stage I read a little more about brumation and realised she should have done a final poo before sleeping. Since I woke her (coming on near a month now), she has eaten crickets and veggies. Still no poo. All the lights are on, I've given her a few baths, but no luck. I'm actually finding that she keeps going to the cool side of tank to fall back asleep again, which I am really trying to avoid. I've been dying to take her to the vet, but the only decent one costs a fair bit and I am currently jobless, so I'm trying any home remedies to see if any will work.
What are your suggestions? Any similar experiences? I am really worried for her.

Her body probably still has a slow metabolism. You can try some baby food squash with a few drops of olive oil. Try giving a bath and rub the sides of the base of her tail to try to stimulate her to go.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
