I have a five/six year old bearded dragon that has not pooped in around two-three weeks. He's never been much of a "pooper", usually he goes once a week, but he hasn't "gone" in close to a month now and I'm beginning to worry.

He's still a spunky and perky old lizard, he's wide-eyed and perky and loves to run around my room and explore. Some days he acts lethargic and doesn't want to eat, but he does eat atleast every other day and he continues to waddle around.

He's never been a "pooper", he usually goes once a week, which is why I'm beginning to really worry. His tummy doesn't look super swollen, and his back legs seem fine based on how he runs around. I've tried everything I could find to "help him out" (feeding him a mixture of applesauce and olive oil, worms dipped in olive oil, loooots of warm baths and misting, belly rubs, and letting him chill on a heating pad to warm his tummy. I've even taken him outside onto the porch to soak in some real rays!) to no avail!

Am I just worrying too much?

That is an awfully long time, especially if it isn't "normal". If lots of baths aren't doing the trick then something more might be going on. If he's running around then he probably isn't brumating. It may be worth getting him checked out by a vet.

Wow, a month is a long time. What are the tank temps and what type of thermometer are you using?

What feeders and greens are you offering? How often are you dusting with calcium & vitamins?

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.
