Impaction?

[jdayrit]

My bearded dragon today has really gotten off his rock, seems lethargic. Yesterday he ate a bunch of superworms because I ran out of phoenix worms. Im not sure how many he ate because I feed him as much as he wants within a 15 minute period twice a day. Can superworms cause impaction like meal worms? His substrate is paper towels so he doesn't have anything else he is swallowing.


His head and neck and is also shedding like crazy right which seems to bother him so Im not really sure.

If hes shedding and its bothering him I would put him in a nice warm bath and take a soft toothbrush to him -- he will like to be scratched-- how old is your dragon- super worms can be hard on a babies stomach and should only be fed as treats -- he ate alot - please watch his bowel movements and it is possible for them to get impacted - I would lay off the super worms for a while
