No poop!!!

[alyel]

So my Drake has been out of brumation for a couple weeks now. She has been eating superworms, and eating her greens pretty good. I know superworms aren't the best, but they will have to do until I can get her butterworms. Well, since she's been awake she has yet to poop. My beardie friend told me wet (canned) dog food usually does it. I gave her that last year and it worked. Just a tiny bit. Well it hasn't worked this time. I'm not sure what else to try except the vet. Which I am avoiding, because I hate to have them pull the poop out of her and she is currently living with my mom and sister in NY because I am in Washington. I'd hate to make my mom pay for a vet visit. Any advice?

How often are baths given?

There isn't anything wrong with feeding superworms IMO as long as husbandry is ok.

What are your basking temps at?

I would give warm baths daily, gently massaging the tummy while in the bath.

What does the salad look like?

I'm not sure what the temps are, but I don't think they have changed at all since I've been there. I've been having my sister give her frequent baths. Every couple days. I know superworms aren't bad...but they actually aren't great in big quantities lol, last vet visit I took her to, she basically told me she was getting fatty liver disease because of the superworms I was giving her. I stopped, and she got healthier. Husbandry is fine. Salads are what she normally gets...endives, escarole, or collards, with calcium powder. Nothing is different.
