Dragon might be impacted? Please help

I'm concerned there's something wrong with Dar. She hasn't pooped in two days, and she's super bloated because of it. She tried to this morning, and only a tiny bit of liquid came out. I fed her slightly less crickets so she wouldn't overeat, and I gave her a rinse in some warm water. Tonight i'm giving her a bath, but I'm pretty concerned. It might be that I'm feeding her crickets that are too big... I don't know though. The crickets are slightly bigger than the space in between her eyes. I'm super concerned, I'm a first time lizard owner and it's all very new to me.

Hi there, how old + big is Dar ? You can give her an extra warm daily bath but along with that give her some or all of these natural laxatives :
baby food prunes,sweet potato or squash, canned pumpkin [ plain no spices ] applesauce . Add a couple drops of olive oil or raw honey to any of those . That, along with warm baths should help her go.

Be sure the crickets are the right size now for sure, you don't want her to have a real problem like a prolapse. With these steps she should be fine though.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure she'll eat the baby food, any ideas on making it interesting enough for her to eat?

You jut have to try + see if she'll eat it. A few drops of raw honey might entice her.
