Impaction Help

[doe222]

this is not my first time dealing with impaction and ive taken steps to try to not let this happen. he has no loose substrates and his temps are right. latley he hasnt taken to his diet the same and i dont know why honestly. he used to poop every day like clockwork 2 hours after waking up. now when he does go its every other day. but he hasnt pooped in about a week now and ive givin him daily soaks. get home from work and put in a nice warm bath for 30min rub his belly and one more time before he goes to sleep. his diet consist of crickets and collards and other greens but mainly collards. Ive givin him some applesause trying to get some sort of bowel movment. also some olive oil. at this point i dont know what to do and i dont have time to get him to the vet due to work. im just PRAYING for a rain day so i can get him up there hopefully this rain we have tonight will carry over tomarrow. Is there anything else i can do?!?! please help. Also i have a basic rule that i started with him a long time ago. you dont poop you dont eat. is this a bad rule to go by? i never wanted to add to an impaction so i assumed it was a good rule. but i did give him some slack because i couldnt see him go so long with no food and i have givin him only a few crickets and i continue to feed him half a bowl of greens a day to get some fiber in him. I am not here to get the business about "watch your substrate or check your temps" everything is fine ive already been through that.

Is he an adult or sub adult ? I know you're nervous, but he will probably be fine. He doesn't need a vet, so just hang in there and something will get him going. Try some more oil, and if you can get some canned pumpkin. Also, try a bath that is a little warmer and deeper....almost so he has to swim a little. That will often get them to go. Stay with him of course. Lots of beardies have gone longer than that without going, really.

He's a little under a year. Why is he not handling his diet as well as he used too? Is that normal
