E.V.O.O?

[Rwperkins]

So I have been reading some posts about ways to help beardies poop, and there is a lot of talk about giving a bit of olive oil. My question is this...is it regular olive oil, or is extra virgin olive oil good too?
My beardie "Arach", has not pooped in 5 days and I have tried the warn baths and the varieties of food suggested to no avail. His light is a power sun 150 uvb/heat and his basking spot is about 107. He is drinking great and eats well most days, but I have started giving him considerably less food for now, just in case.
Thanks,
Robert

It really doesnt matter...they both serve the same function.

Yes, olive oil or veg. oil. But a few other things to try are unsweetened applesauce, baby food squash or prunes, canned pumkin [ no spices ] and even a bit of iceberg lettuce. It's good that Arach is well hydrated, too. Keep in mind that for an adult, 5 days is not long at all to go between poos. Some don't go for 2 weeks at times, even a bit longer.
