mealworms are a high risk for impaction, espeically with younger beardies. I know that you have water in your tank, but I would suggest a warm bath for your beardie and a massage from the sternum to the vent. This will help the impaction (if that's what it is) through her digestive tract and out her body. You can also feed her some ORGANIC baby food through a needleless syringe. It's pretty much a beardie laxative. What else do you feed your beardie? Also, if you are keeping her on sand and FEED her on the sand, that can also cause impaction. Sand isn't too great, especially for young ones.

If you wouldn't mind, fill out these questions and I can see if there is anything else I can help you with.
