Is it impaction or just constipation?

Hey guys! My 13-15month old baby has been doing fine until i fed her some superworms earlier this week. her poop is normally quite large and ever since the superworms they have been significantly smaller. one day all she would eat was greens so her poop was partially green the next day. but otherwise normal looking urate, just also less in size. she’s also quite bloated. belly still does not touch the ground when she’s standing on all fours. she’s been glass surfing a little more than usual but no other signs of distress. she’s just as active as usual. also she has had these superworms before and had no issue. i’ve tried organic pumpkin babyfood. should i try a pure pumpkin purée? i give her warm baths daily and she almost always poops in them, again though they’re much smaller than her normal.

any ideas would be super helpful! i have an appointment on monday, but if i can help her any sooner that would be lovely.

Hi there, many dragons poo less frequently when food superworms or just in general as they grow to adult size. There is nothing to worry about at all and no need for a vet. Many dragons, mine included, don't poo for a couple of weeks every now + then and it's still fine. They go when they are ready, sometimes with a bit of assistance like the natural laxatives and warm soak every other day.

Thanks AHBD!

So relieved to hear that! She doesn’t seem uncomfortable at all too so that makes sense. I should probably feed her them less often then? Usually she would eat around 5average in a sitting. Twice a day. I’m sure she’d eat more if i let her though.
