New Toilet Routine?

[Blackenedsabbath]

Hello,

I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but I was wondering, is it normal for a bearded dragon to change the pattern of their bowel movements? Pancake used to have a bowel movement 4 to 5 hours after eating, but for the past few days I've noticed that instead he's been going to the bathroom the following morning instead. The temperatures in his tank haven't changed, no stress marks, he's still super active and alert, no difference in appetite. There aren't any abnormalities with his stool or urates, and he is still having a bowel movement daily, but it's just at a different time of day now... Is this normal for beardies or should I give him some extra baths and belly massages incase he has some slight constipation going on?

Yeah sometimes it fluctuates. Some days they'll go multiple times and some not at all. They generally have a routine but it's not set in stone. If everything else is normal I don't think it's anything to be concerned with.
