Impaction .

the title really says it all . i've tried everything for him , it's been about 3-4 days sense he last went. i've given him the vegetable oil & baths. i don't know what else to do and a vet really isn't in my budget. his lighting is correct . he eats small wax worms (i even cut them to be sure they're small enough) because i haven't had the chance to get silk worms yet & i ran out of crickets (he doesn't like crickets anyways) if there's anything else please i can do please let me know . he is still very active and happy, he runs for food and gets super excited when he sees he's about to be fed, he just won't go. he's a baby btw. about 1 or 2 months old, i'm not to sure

He may just not need to go yet. Is he dragging his back legs? It sounds like he is still having normal behavior though. If you are really worried you can try some baby food prunes. 3-4 days isn't that bad. It would make me nervous too though. I would base things on his behavior though and it sounds like he is fine.

no, he runs around & everything. he acts normal it just makes me paranoid he hasn't gone, like i don't want to come home one day and find his dragging his back legs or on his back

I see what you're saying. It won't hurt to give him some baby food prunes.

If he's acting normal then he's fine. Try baby food prunes as mentioned, also try any of the following : unsweetened applesauce, baby food squash, canned pumpkin and a drop or two of veg. oil mixed in any of those. Give a warmer than usual 5-10 minute bath.
