For the past couple of days he hasn't been pooping-I've emptied his tank out to make sure he's not hidden it anywhere- nothing whatsoever.
He's showing no signs of discomfort, idleness. Bright as a button!
I gave him some olive oil to try and loosen things up in there.Bathed him for 30mins 2 times a day. Nothing.
Is it me or does he just not want to go?!
His feeders consist of 3 medium sized locusts 4 times a week. Veggies are mustard greens,romaine lettuce.Occasionally feed him apple,grapes,carrot.
Basking temps are 101-105*F
Substrate is currently kitchen roll to prevent sand from irritating his skin on his front feet (he got burnt cause someone moved the dimmer probe :banghead: )

I would really appreciate some help on this?

Sorry to hear about your beardie.

I'm happy to report Smaug has finally pooped-given the size of it I think he must've been saving that one!

Mine like to hold it when things are slowing down this time of year too. Glad that he finally gave you some though!
Happy dance! :blob5: :blob8: :blob5:

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
