Dragon not pooping?

[Demonica1610]

Hi everyone,

Maybe you guys can help me. I'm a "worried momma" to say the least.

I've been noticing that Gunns (my Beardie) has been acting rather sluggish lately. Not his usual self. He's usually a very hyper and energetic Beardie. But for the past few days, he's been kinda mopping around. I thought maybe it was because of the cold - since we just had a blizzard here in Rhode Island. But I've just realized that he hasn't popped in roughly 3-4 days which isn't normal for my little guy. He usually goes 2 times or more in one day depending on how much he eats. He ate his worms last night so I know he's eating. I'm just worried. Any advice would work at this time. Also wondering how much a vet bill might be if needed??!

What kind of worms are you feeding? Try some unspiced canned pumpkin, olive or vegetable oil, or applesauce. Just drip it on his nose or gently syringe it into his mouth. Also try a warm bath and rub his belly. He is probably a bit impacted. You might also want to review your whole set up.

right now i dont think a vet visit may be necessary, try giving him a warm bath and rub his sides towards his vent, it should help him go.
think he could be dehydrated? when was the last time he was bathed/ had a drink?

I'm happy to hear that. I can't afford a vet visit right now. He pooped!! Only once today. But still kinda sluggish. I'm gonna try a bath.

Thank you for the help!
