beardie hasnt pooped?

[Malon3r]

So I baught my beardie at a reptile expo on saturday @ 2.30ish pm. I fed her and she ate a few crickets that night, and i bathed her. Nothing, ok thats fine i suppose.
Sunday came around, she ate a few crickets, not very many.. I assumed it was relocation stress and had just been extremely hungry saturday from being out on display all day.
Sunday night she also ate a few more crickets, and then this morning @ 9 she ate about 15 crickets, and a little bit of greens over the past days.

Still no poop however, is this 'normal' for her being brand new to an environment? Or should i be a tad bit worried....

You're still OK at this point.

How much they poop depends on how much they eat, and she's not yet
eating normally for you (give her a little time and she'll be a bearded bug vacuum).

Another bath would be in order to see if she needs a little help, or she could also
be a bath pooper and will only really let go in the bath.

But I wouldn't worry much yet. If she hasn't gone by mid-week, even with baths,
then I'd start to worry about impaction and try to get some baby food pumpkin
into her. Or if she is straining but not going...

Ok well my worries have so far gone away. I went into my room a few hours after i fed her this morning and found a pile of poo in the corner she seems to like. Not sure why she always seems to go to this corner after being scared or just running into.. do they all tend to do this, or is mine just strange.

You do mean a corner of her viv ... right???

 

[Malon3r]

yea haha the corner of her viv.
Infact I walked into my room not that long ago, after lights off and she is now sleeping under the paper towel in that same corner.(the poo is gone and paper towel changed ofcourse)

If she's gravitating towards one particular spot for both pooping and sleeping,
it could just be a preference.

More likely though, is that it's the coolest spot in the tank and she's trying to
temperature regulate. I'd double-check your temperatures at the basking spot,
the warm side, and the cool size. Just to be sure.

 

[Malon3r]

Its right beside the basking spot so it can't be much colder than in the 90s when lights are on. Its usually when I open the cage or make a louder noise by accident around the cage sometimes it catches her off guard so she flee's to it. She doesn't often sit there when the lights are on.
The sleeping where you pooped part I find a bit odd though
