Beardie NOT POOPING

[beardlessdragon11]

HELLO I have had my lizard for about a year and a half. He is two years old. He hasn't pooped in over a week and a half help I am scared

Try soaking him in a nice warm bath and rub his tummy. You can also try rubbing around the base of the tail to stimulate him to go. Has he been eating a lot still? If that doesn't work you can try some baby food squash or prunes with a little olive oil and feed him some of that.

How regular has he been before this event ?

If he's normally pooing every day .... it's likely he may be mildly impacted, an oral dose of 0.4ml olive oil by syringe will likely get things moving in a day or two.

I wouldn't be hitting the panic button quite yet , they can go 14 days and be perfectly healthy , see my thread about Peppa and Toothless (who about the same age and slowed the pooing down since about November : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=232446 ).

Hello,

That is good to hear! Baths are usually pretty effective.
Adults have a tendency to not go as often as youngsters, depending on what they eat, etc.
You could add some oral fluids a few days a week, in case he isn't getting enough hydration.
