Beardie not pooping for days.

So this started I'd say about two weeks ago, my Beardie hasn't been pooping at all and looks bloated to all heck. Yes iv been bathing and rubbing his belly. He refuses to eat greens which recently iv turned around by ONLY offering him salads and i have been drip feeding him water through a syringe to get a little moister in him and as of two days ago he's been dropping baby poops once/twice a day so I guess there's progress. Should I take him to the vet? And I don't know his exact age because I didn't ask the breeder when I got him, he's 16 inches from head to tail so I guess he's at least a year old.

Is your dragon eating at all?
Is it sleeping a lot? If so might be in brumation.

Yes he sleeps a lot now. But he also eats super worms when ever I offer. It could be brumation the bloated belly and hard/firm feeling of it isn't good I'm sure. He's also been straining to poop during these two weeks and just can't seem to get anything out until recently he's been dropping tiny poos

Keep giving him long baths and if he doesn't get better take him to a vet. Could be impaction too so keep a close eye on him.

In Spring my beardie started pooping only once every couple weeks. I was giving him baths and massaging his belly etc. I took him to the vet and the vet gave him an enema and fecal exam. He had worms so he dewormed him and said all should be fine. I left for Europe and my brother was taking care of my beardie. Same thing happened again. Wasn't pooping only once every few weeks. I was finally able to get to the vet about a month ago. Same thing. So I decided to get rid of the dubia colony I had and just buy Super Worms, he freaking loves super worms and was largely uninterested in dubia anyway. Turns out the Dubia's had parasites themselves they were passing to my beardie. The vet also gave me 15 dollars of deworming medication to feed via syringe to my beardie for a week and a half, once a day.

Each vet visit set me back 135 dollars but now my beardie is finally okay. Take him to the vet if the issues persist and the baths and massages aren't working.

I've been getting him to eat greens more often so that's a change but yes no pooping or very little. I'll most likely be taking him to the vet in a week or two after I get some bills payed off first. All in all he looks healthy, but he has been sleeping a lot bUT that I'll contribute to being in fall and soon winter.
