having trouble feeding boss

What's in his salad? Do you feed him mealworms? How old is Boss? If you think he's constipated(impacted) give him warm baths and massage his belly under his armpits down to his back legs. If he still doesn't eat try putting a drop of baby food on his nose and see if he licks it off.

He is probably impacted. Giving them warm baths and letting them just sit in it for about a good hour is good for them. Make sure you monitor him at all time. If he doesn't poop, I'd say send him to the vet immediately. But you also have to make sure your beardie has enough Calcium(Vitamin D3) in him. Dust it on your crickets, kale, etc..

That means the Vet will stick a small swab up the backend of your beardie to get a stool sample. This will also usually cause them to poop some which may be a good thing in your case. Good luck.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
