I am taking Spike in for his first vet visit to ensure he's healthy and need to take a fecal to be tested but he hasn't pooped in two days even with baths. His poop is good but I just want to be on the safe side. Any ideas to encourage him to poop? His normal cycle is every couple of days and no luck with belly massages as he is not impacted he's just been eating less and most likely beginning to go back into brumation. Help! Thanks:)

Sometimes just putting them on the floor will do the trick. If you can heat up part of the floor with his heat lamp + set him there.

Sometimes activity helps as well. If you can get him to roam around that may move things along. The vet may also have some tricks if the sample is needed right away.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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.
