Help, Beardie not pooping.

[Lpsouth1978]

Hi all, I am hoping someone on here can give me some suggestions. My little guy has not pooped in about a week and I am worried! He is still eating like a champ and shows no other signs of something wrong, he just won't poop. Here is as much pertinent info as I could think of, let me know if I left anything out.

Age - 6 months, I have had him for about 4 months
Tank - 40g breeder
Substrate - paper towels
Lighting - 75w basking bulb, 24" Repti-sun 10.0 (4 months old)
Temps - 100-105 basking, 78-85 cool side, measured with temp gun
Food - crickets (gut loaded and dusted), Phoenix worms, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, zucchini, bell pepper, peas
Supplements - calcium w/D3 5x a week, multivitamin 2x a week
Baths 2-3x a week

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

Your tank setup looks good, so that should not be an issue there.
How close is the Reptisun 10 tube bulb to him & is there glass or plastic in between him & the light?
You can try giving him some oral fluids daily with a plastic dropper or syringe, as well as maybe incorporate a daily bath to help with hydration to see if that may help.
You could give some sugar free applesauce to help in case he is slightly impacted.
Are the crickets smaller than the space between his eyes? Since he is eating phoenix worms, they are high in calcium, naturally. Maye try going to 4 times per week with the calcium as sometimes too much calcium can cause constipation.

Let us know how he is doing.
