My beardy eats but hasn’t pooped

[JayMiller0211]

So it’s been almost 3 days that my bearded dragon Wasabi hasn’t pooped. He eats like crazy and now he’s just bloated. He has a 40 gallon tank with 10.0 and a 100 w basking bulb. Any advice?

How old is he ?

The substrate is ?

Hi there, he looks good + healthy and will probably go any day now. It is a bit long for a baby to go 3 or more days so the size of the insects might be too large. What are you feeding him and can you post pics of the insects you feed him next to a dime ? And if he's on a loose substrate [ sand, crushed walnut] that may be a problem if he swallowed any. If so be sure to change it for newspaper or non adhesive shelf liner.

To help him poo, offer any or all of these natural laxatives : baby food squash , set potato, prunes, applesauce mixed with a drop of olive oil or raw honey. Then give him a warmer than usual bath [ never leave him alone in it ] that is deep enough to make him almost swim a little bit. This works pretty much every time.

Give her time. She maybe pooing in a spot where you cant see it? Try dropping a little olive oil on her nose to lick off in case she is a little "bunged up".
