juvenile bearded dragon hasent pooped since i bought him

[ciampi90]

My little boy (Edward) hasent pooped since i got him around 3 days ago. Should i be worried about impact ion? I put some prune juice and olive oil on his meal worms today. Should i be this worried or am i just being a parent? (Edit) Although he seems happy his stress lines are particularly dark. (double edit) when i say he is a little boy i mean it. He is prolly only a month or so old. Im also certain all his temps are good as i measured them with one of the lazer temp readers not a stick one.

It doesn't really surprise me since their stress from moving can last around 2 weeks. Have you tried giving him a warm bath and gently rubbing his belly?

I wouldn't be feeding mealworms. They can cause impaction and not much nutritional value. How old is he?

Im not sure i just got him. Either way the prune juice worked he just had his first poop. I think it was just relocation stress. Right now he is on a diet of meal worms and crickets. What else should i use? And yes before right now i did try the bath and belly rub.

I'm going to guess it's still young? Black soldier fly larvae and dubia roaches, crickets are fine too.
