Free beardie but possible impaction needs to see a vet

I have a very pretty and great temperament male bearded dragon he has a possible impaction and needs to see a vet which I can't afford right now I love him dearly and I'm choosing to part with him I live in amityville,ny he needs to see a vet ASAP

Can shedding cause him to stop pooping

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Sure can. They get irritable and restless.

 

[Jlashley0723]

Because as I was bathing him he had some side spike skin coming off maybe a shed?

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Sounds like it but a picture always helps.

He's one handsome guy! How did he eat for you today?

 

[Jlashley0723]

He ate a dubia and some greens

It pumpkin a laxative for dragons going to the supermarket later wanted to know and can u guys give me some advice on the best mix of greens to feed

 

[Esther19]

Yes, pumpkin will help him go. Buy the pumpkin with no spices, though. Here is a list of good nutritional things for them: http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html I use collard and mustard greens as the base with different things thrown in for interest. Wish I could buy dandelion and turnip greens.

 

[Jlashley0723]

Ok because I'm trying to offer a mix usually I offer one different green a week but that can't reall me help can I mic collards kale and mustards as a weekly staple

 

[Esther19]

I would use the kale sparingly, since it binds to calcium and keeps your beardie from absorbing all the calcium possible. Offering a mix is great, though. One good thing to add is grated squash.

 

[Jlashley0723]

Oops is it possible that that's why he was have hard urates

 

[Jlashley0723]

WE HAVE POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Esther19]

Hooray for poop!!!

 

[Jlashley0723]
