Looks like there was a little misunderstanding.. i meant that she got impaction cause she didnt eat any veggies.
Anyway.. well she s almost 2 years.. and yes they did take out all the poop she had.
She has wood chips for substrate.. i
bathe her every 2 days
I feed her superworms, crickets, once in a while a baby pinkie, also like to give her phoenix worms and butterworms.
she usually eats around 10 to 12 of whatever feeder i give her..
Thanks for your concerns

Impaction is basically constipation. It's a clump that forms in the dragon's stomach usually due to eating sand and or unsafe substances. I don't think your beardie got impacted because of the veggies, but I'm no expert. If you want to feed your dragon veggies you can try these things:
1. leave a small piece of collard greens/mustard greens or whatever you're trying to give him in his basking spot
2. get a little dish with all veggies chopped up and throw some superworms or mealworms in there or anything that moves, hopefully while eating the worms your dragon will get some veggies in his mouth and realize its food as well
3. try to get some water on a veggie and give him water from there. It's a little difficult to do, but if you can do this when he licks the water off he might realize he can eat it and go for it.
4. always leave a bowl of fresh veggies in his cage everyday --remove all uneaten food at the end of the day.
Just keep trying and don't give up soon enough you'll see that he'll eat his veggies. Don't stop feeding him for long periods of time if he's not in good health. If he was just impacted, feed him regularly wait atleast until he poops once or twice and then once he looks healthy enough you can try the fasting method to get him to eat his veggies.
Well thats the thing eventhrough sometimes i dont feed her cause of this she still acts just as active as when she eats..
Thank you for these awesome tips.
Another thing ive noticed is that every morning i turn her lights on she almost never wants to get out of her log.. she would stay all day there.. does anyone know why?
