Has not pooped in almost a week

[squirell]

Husbandry first.
4X2 enclosure reptisun 10.0 just got it in July. About 103-105 basking temp 75 low side.

He eats occasionally but has not pooped in almost a week. I feed him supers and tried crickets again but he had no interest. For greens I give him collards greens, parsley, yellow and butternut squash. I have bathed him a few times this week to try and get him to go but he just sits in his tub and hangs out. He has lost quite a bit of interest in food unless there is calci powder on it and even then its not much. He also just kinda hangs out lazily like he wants to go into partial brumation but he is only 8 months old. He is bright, alert, and no stress marks. All help is greatly appreciated. Its getting to the point where im starting to get worried...

could possibly being going into brumation, but one thing that does worry me it if thats the pic of the dragon on your post do you still have sand as your substrate, or is that carpet? if its sand that could lead to impaction.. I would get rid of the sand either way...if it is impaction, then try and feed him some baby food with a couple drops of olive oil and soak him in the bathtub for a few minutes everyday and hopefully he will pass it.
hope it is brumation, but treat it as impaction just to be safe.

Yea that is repticarpet and the picture is pretty old got him on tile now. I will try the baby food(any in particular?) I will soak him everyday until it passes. If he doesnt go by the weekend I will bring him in to get checked out(kinda short on cash until Friday)

try something similar to something he already eats ( applesauce, squash, green beans, etc.)

If my beardie doesn't poops at his time when he poops everyday around 12:00pm when Im havin' lunch Then 3 hours later Im already giving him a bath, also try olive oil I have never tried it but I have heard many times that its good for digesting nad will help him poop , and yeah soak him everyday in a warm water and let him swim, and also let him run around the room and he will probably poop somewhere on the carpet, The exercise helps to digest it also quicker too I tried it out and what I have found ? A HUGE POOP ON MY CARPET :lol: :lol:

Well came home from work to a little present from him. So thats a good thing. He still didnt want to eat yesterday so I put a folded up towel in his cage just in case he decided he wanted to sleep for a day or two. I will keep everyone posted on him. Thanks for the help.
