my 3 year old dragon is not going to the bathroom very often. im feeding him daily, veggies and crickets with calcium on them. im giving him water daily and batheing him once every two weeks. and i hardly ever feed him any worms of any kind even when i do is only like two and its only like once a month. his lights are fine i just changed them he is baskin at about 100 deg and has a reptisun 10.0. he is acting perfectly healthy and looks healthy too.(also his eating habbits havnt changed at all) can anyone give me advice on how to fix this and avoid it in the future.

P.S its been about 3-5 day since he has gone to the bathroom


thanks

You could up the baths to 2 or 3 times a week. That's what we do for our girls. He might be a little dehydrated and that's why he hasn't pooped in a while. Everything else looks good.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
