My dragon won't poop

My dragons name is Gucci and she's just a few months old . She hadn't been taken care of properly by the people I got her from so I just started giving her her vegetables. She normally poops everyday or every other day but she hasn't pooped in a few days now . She also feels pretty bloated. She doesn't seemed stressed at all though . I put her in the bath last night for about 30 minutes and rubbed her belly. What else should I do ?

Hi there!

As a young dragon, she should be getting lots of protein! Keep offering her salads, but also bug meals 2-3 times per day! As for the pooping issue, a good thing to do is feed applesauce with no added sugar or baby food (squash, prunes,) through a syringe onto her nose. She'll most likely lick it up, and this should get her tummy moving:D So glad you rescued her and that she's in the right hands:)

There are a number of reasons why a dragon wont poo (as often as we'd like or as regularly).
Can be dietary, due to insects like superworms and mealworms be a large part of the diet, due to ingesting some substrate which has created a blockage, metabolism, temperatures and lack of solid food and lack of protein.

Firstly how long has it been since your dragon last did a poo ? .... OP says a few days
and is it regular ? .... OP says used to be pooing every day

A few days between poos for a larger juvenile or adult beardie is not an issue , some have very slow metabolism and save up their poo for up to 14 days , I don't start intervening ( with oral doses of olive oil until it's been 7 days, and then baths with tummy rubs from 10 days.

For a very small / young dragon a few days is common, I would start intervening at 4 days with oral doses of olive oil and natural gentle laxative , and bathing with tummy rubs from days.
At 3 months old he's still only a hatchling , young juvenile.

Do you feel any hard lumps in it's tummy ?

Will be helpful to see photos of the dragon , and it's viv and lighting (show how everything is set up, show the substrate).

Need details of the UV and lights, and temperatures.

About his diet , there are issues.
Your 3 month old should be on a nearly entirely live insect protein diet with veg offered , but mostly eating live insects , 2 or 3 times per day.

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. 😔
