Hello!
So, my biggest beardie, Boaby, has always been a great eater. Eats every bit of salad and live food given to him. he went through a prolonged shed recently in which his appetite was diminished slightly. Still ate though, just higher percentage of live food (dubias, hoppers, occasional morio and calciworms) than veggies.
He hasn't pooped in 3 weeks. Vet checked him over, couldn't feel ANY impaction or swelling at all......doesn't look any bigger in the belly either. It's odd. He's not on loose substrates, hasn't been for 3.5 years since I rehomed him. Still active, basking, vet said to keep an eye and see if he's maybe pooing then eating it but said it's very unlikely. No urates either. Bath hasn't helped. Eating plenty bell peppers, squash, spring greens, occasional kale, carrot, courgette (zucchini), skinned cucumber, strawberry..........but no poo!
