Beardie is not acting normal

[chirish]

Hey all thanks for reading my post!!

I need some help or suggestions. My beardies is about 3 months old and ever since I've gotten him he's been eating like a champ (eating crickets, kale, and reptile pellets, etc.). Lately he hasn't touched his kale and reptile pellets and seems to be only eating the crickets. I'm glad that he's still eating but it's wierd that he isn't eating like normal. I'm a bit worried. My beardie hasn't pooped in two days either which is very unusal. Usually I come home and theres a load waiting for me. So i'm not quite sure what to do or if there is anything I can feed him to help with this process. Thanks for your help!!!

There could be lots of things going on, if you could answer some questions it'd be very helpful-

How long have you had your dragon?
How long is your dragon?
What is the sex of your dragon?
What size enclosure do you have your dragon in?
What type substrate do you have on the bottom of your tank?
Do you use UVB lights?
If so, Is it a coil, compact, fluorescent tube, or Mercury Vapor bulb?
What is the brand name and number of your bulb? Wattage (if MVB)?
How old is your UVB bulb?
How close can your dragon get to the UVB?
Do you use a separate basking bulb? What kind and what is the wattage?
What are the basking temps?
What is the cool side temp?
Do you take the temps with a stick on thermometer, a digital thermometer with a wire and a probe end or a temp gun?
Where exactly are you taking your basking temps?
Do you use a heat rock or heat pad?
What do you feed your dragon? Please be specific.
How often do you feed and what time do you feed (morning, afternoon, night)?
Do you gutload (feed) your crickets, worms, etc?
Do you use vitamin or calcium supplements? What brand(s)? How many days a week do you use each of them?
Is your dragon having regular bowel movements (poops)?
Do you bath your dragon? How often?
Do you mist your dragon or offer water other than in the bath?
Does your dragon share an enclosure with another dragon?
Have you gotten a vet check and fecal done?

Off what you've already said, it's pretty normal for a baby to not be so interested in greens, what he needs right now is lots of protein. However, kale isn't very good for them, this site is extremelly helpful when it comes to proper veggies. http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html I've never been able to get any of mine interested in pellets, but are you soaking them or giving them like "croutons" on his salad?
For pooping, you can try giving him a bath, and if that doesn't work, a bit of sugar-free applesauce with a small drop or 2 of olive or mineral oil mixed in either on a spoon or dropped on the tip of his nose so he has to lick it off will generally work wonders.
