Hello there
I'm a proud owner of almost 2 years old beardie and I have some concerns about his pooping uh... schedule.
So before the winter came he was pooping regularly, few times a week. When the winter came he became less active, more lazy than usual and started pooping rarer. He was still energetic during his active hours though so I wasn't really worried. I read somewhere that they poop 1-7 times a week so I thought it's normal. Right now he hasn't pooped for 11 days and that's when I'm getting worried about him. I know it's still winter and I hope it's just season's fault but I prefer to ask before it's too late.
So:
He's still eating his worms and roaches happily, hunts them all over the house and stuff.
He doesn't really like veggies but I'm trying to make him eat at least a piece of a veggie per day.
He's getting his vitamins and calcium regularly.
He's quite energetic during his active hours and he's running all over the room whenever I let him out.
I have him a warm bath twice already (although he never poops during bathing) and gave him a belly massage. I also felt his belly carefully to search for some lumps or any case of impaction and I haven't found any.
He looks healthy, doesn't show any signals of stress, no black beard, no hissing, no laying dead somewhere in the corner, no glossy eyes.
What should I do? Wait few days longer or run to the vet immediately? Is it normal for them during winter to poop so rarely or did he get impacted?
