Juvenile dragon, looks Bloated, Won't Poop

Still a bit of a newbie here, I've had Toothless about 3 months now, I believe he is 4-5 months old. how ever, he is not pooping and he seems to be a bit bloated. His normal diet is BSFL and i feed him in the morning and at night. I say 'normal', because right now i am out of BSFL and his next shipment won't arrive until tomorrow or friday. His shipment got delayed and so I had to go to the pet store and get him something to hold him over, since he won't eat the wet food i got for emergencies like this. i ended up getting some small superworms, I give him 4-5 a day and hand feed him some greens for some extra water, since he wont drink out of a dish. He hasn't pooped since monday, (when i started feeding him the superworms) and normally poops at least once a day. I leave collard greens and some orange bell peppers in his dish for a snack, but he hardly touches those. I give him baths 1-2 times a week, but he never poops in those, usually just when he needs to in his tank. he has a 100W intense basking bulb and a zoomed t5 hood with a 5.0 UVB, (it was all they had at the time i got him, I plan on changing it to a 10.0) Should i switch out the superworms for now? Did they impact him? He eats all of the worms I give him, his habits haven't changed, but he refuses to poop. I gave him a warm bath and stroked his belly to try and get some things flowing, but he hasn't pooped yet, and he still seems bloated.

EDIT: As soon as i posted this topic he pooped, and it looked healthy as ever, he looks less bloated now and he has eaten some of his greens. still, let me know if I should change anything, Thank You!!

I'm glad to hear that he pooped. It's not unusual for them to not go for a few days like that now and then. If it happens again you can try dripping water on his nose to lick up for extra hydration. You can also try feeding some plain applesauce or canned pumpkin along with a few drops of olive oil which can help them go if needed. That's not often necessary though.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
