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-

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.
