Heavy eating, zero pooping!

Hi there everyone!
In the last 11 days, my dear bearded dragon Draco has slowed down a little bit. He is moving way less, and likes to chill more on his tree. But I guess this is just because the winter started and it is his natural instict, to be slower in this season. What I'am worried about is, he had a very big hunger and ate 10-12 cicada (1-2cm) per day in the first 7 days (out of this 11 days without poop). Since then I only gave him kiwi (I heard it have a laxative effect on dragons), but he still hasn't poop any. We already gave him a warm 15 minute bath and gentle stomach rubbing aswell.


He looks fine, always letting us pet him, having cute head boppings, he looks like a healthy dragon, but there is around 70 cicada what he havent pooped out...
I am worried! :?: :?: :?: :( :( :(

This happens often enough to be a regular subject on beardie forums [ happens to mt dragons as well ] but it always ends up fine. Just keep offering " natural laxative " , you can include baby food squash, sweet potato , prunes as well as canned pumpkin. A small plate of iceberg lettuce and extra hydration will also help. Also try a warmer than usual bath, even a bit deeper so he almost has to swim, and this will all do the trick. Just be patient, it can last for more than 2 weeks at times and still you will see results. :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
