How long can Dragons go without pooping?

[amyemiline]

Just wondering how long will they go without pooping.

My dragon is on day 10 without pooping. He hasnt been eating much lately though. A few pheonix worms one day and maybe one hornworm the odd day.

Hes still active and runs around, has been hiding a bit more than usual but my vet said to take him out and place him on his basking rock when I see him doing so for so long.

Can I attribute his small appetite to his lengthy poop schedual right now?

Sometimes Mystic goes w/o for 2-3 weeks, not too normal, but I try and get him out for some exercise. I don't bathe him too often.

Hmm ok.

I give mine bathes often especially when he's gone so long without pooping.

I will try more excersize with him.

Exercise can help, and you can offer unsweetened applesauce, baby food prunes or squash with a few drops of veg. oil. Also increase hydration.

Hornworms have a high liquid content right? Cause hes been eating one daily now. And ok I will get him out of his tank to run around more. Thank you guys.

Good news he pooped today

Must just be the small appetite right now.
