Hasn’t pooped

Beardie name(s)
Smaug
This has never happened before or atleasy not for this amount of time, Smaug hasn’t pooped in 1-2 weeks and I’m starting to get worried, she looks very bloated and a lot bite her than she usually does, I’ve been giving her warm baths every 2 days or so because she hates baths and I don’t like puting her in situations she dosnt like but I don’t really have a choice, but it hasn’t been helping, so I’m just wondering if I should be worried or not? She gets fed 5 crickets once every 2 days and salad every day but she never eats it if that helps at all?
Thanks for the help.

How old is Smaug? Adult dragons can take up to a month to poop- w/ the dragon not eating salads is he /she drinking in the bath? They do need to stay hydrated but too many baths will dry the scales out- try feeding some baby food pumpkin w/ a drop of olive oil and drop of honey in it -- keep feeding till he / she poops- have you tried any type of luring to the salad bowl? Like super worms? BSFL? Mealworms? Silk worms? Horn worms?

She’s is 1year and 5 months old and I give her water out of a syringe because she’s dosnt like drinking in the bath, she seems to think that she dosnt need water🤦‍♀️but I heard that mealworms can give them impaction because they are hard to digest? Is this right? And you can’t seem to get any other type of worm where I live, the only other thing is BSFL but she dosnt like that. She will eat the salad SOMETIMES but most of the time she won’t even touch it. I will get some baby food to give to her next time I go to the shops, thanks for the help

Silk worms are another staple and stick to everything- put those on top of the salads -- horn worms are a great hydrating worm and grow very fast --

I've resorted to spraying down crickets when I suspect dehydration. Beebz doesn't like to drink either but does a decent job with his salad so usually I just spray that thoroughly.

Also make sure the crickets themselves are hydrated. When the humidity gets low I've had them dry out and die in 2 days when I wasn't on top of it.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
