Beardie only pooping in bath?

[abigailjeanie]

Hey everyone. I have a beardie, Watson, who is about 8 inches long now and who is doing very well. I have gotten him to poop everyday by very minimally touching his belly in the bath, and it looks very healthy.

He seems to not want to do it in his cage. :? He is eating fine, pinheads that are a little small and some just a tad bigger than others. He eats about five in the morning (all he will eat), sometimes five in the afternoon, and up to twenty in the evening. He has a mix of greens everyday, and a rotation of squash, mango, and green beans, and an occasional fruit once a week. I make sure he has basking temperatures up to 108 degrees F, and he stays there for up to three hours after eating.

Is he just spoiled to wanting to poop in the bath?
Could his UVB light be affecting it? It is some sort of Zilla light, something we bought on a whim (It said UVB and I figured it would work). We ordered a ReptiSun 10.0 yesterday and it should be here in a couple days. :?: :?:

I checked his belly, and there is no hard lumps in it. There is one small bump on his left side and another on his right side but they are palpable.

It is not uncommon for dragons to hate pooping in their homes. One of my 3 will only go in the bath. I wish they all would...clean up is so much easier. Just make sure he gets a bath daily so he can relieve himself.

Thank you! I'll start bathing him every morning. He used to go in his home, however he started getting a bit dehydrated because he ran from misting, so he got a daily bath. I guess I spoiled him. He's such a twit.
