HELP ASAP belly bloated

[L337h4l]

I recently discovered that my beardie might be eating his fake plant in his terrarium so I removed it from his terrarium and gave him apple sauce with some veg oil to help him pass it but I just looked at him and he looks really bloated and I'm really worried about him

Are you feeding greens? And if you have him on sand get that out of there he could be impacted use paper towel or repti carpet instead. And what feeders are you feeding?

No I'm not feeding him greens hes only 3 months old and was told to just feed him an insect diet and I use repticarpet for his enclosure and he hasn't been eating for a few days due to him shedding I've been trying to entice him to eat with dubia roaches but he doesn't care for it the only thing I've gotten him to eat is small bits of blueberries

He looks well fed and just pancaking while basking to me …. little hatchlings and juveniles can get really good "beer bellys" on them - it's normal …

How big do you think the bits of fake plant that were eaten were ?

Are you checking his poos for these ?
When was the last poo ?
Is he pooing every day ?

If he hasn't pooed for an extended period , give him about 4 days from his last poo , if no poo delivered , try 0.4ml of olive oil given by orally by eyedropper or syringe with a nozzle on it
or a 14G feeding needle on it (better and good to have in your kit) see viewtopic.php?f=45&t=232687

If no poo by end of a week …. I suggest since he's very young and has a very fast metabolic rate , a reptile vet needs to check him - I suggest asking for xrays of his GIT , any blockage will be clearly seen and then you and the vet can come up with a plan to get it out .

Chances are he'll be fine.
