Could it be do to stress of losing his mate-escaped-,I cleaned and slightly changed the tank-no substrate yet. Could he be stressed? As I write this he pooped-first since Sunday.....ideas...

Hmmm.... I would consider purchasing some hornworms or something. Hornworms are mostly water so they might help his bowels get 'aflowin. Otherwise, I hope he feels better!

Sol went through this same issue for about 3-4 days and pooped yesterday!
Here is what I did to help him relieve himself: I massaged his belly, put him a nice warm bath and massaged his belly a little more. He started swimming around a little, then he pooed! Baths really seem to help them go. Try the same method - gently massage your beardies belly, then fill up the bathtub with about 2 inches of warm water, put them in there and continue to massage the belly to help get things moving. It also helps if they swim around a little.
I have read that a few drops of olive oil in some organic baby food can also help. I was going to try that with Sol before he finally went.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
