do i need to worry?

Hi

I'm sure someone can help me.

I have had my beardies for nearly 3 weeks. They are about 18 months old. They were housed together but are now seperate. Since they have been seperated the female laid a clutch of eggs

Anyway, for the last 5 days the male Rocky, has not pooped, but he also hasn't eaten much either. Do i need to worry.

I had them both checked by a reptile vet last week an she went through all the husbandry so i know that temps an lighting is right, and she said they were both very healthy dragons

He is still active and alert. I have bathed him too an still no poop.

As i am a new beardie owner i just want them to be happy, and hope that i am not just being paranoid

Thanks in advance for any info

It's very common for beardies not to poo especially when a lot of changes have been going on. Give him a day or 2, and he most likely will go. If not, you can try baby food prunes, or olive oil to help move things along.

Thank you

Oh, that's common. Pooping is not an everyday occurance for beardies :lol: Are the eggs fertile? I bet that's exciting!

Hi

yeah they are fertile, well, i am assuming they are. I didn't have them when the dirty deed was done :lol: but as they were in the same viv, i am guessing that they are. They are in the reptile centre for incubation so i guess they will inform me if they aren't.

I hope he poops soon :?
