[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 2005599, member: 81934"] How long has it been since he did a poo ? If it's < 1 week , he should be OK , just give him about 2ml of olive oil by mouth using needless syringe , that usually lubricates everything gets it moving , they like the taste of olive oil too ( a bonus ). If no poo after about 48 hr , try again You can also let him free range a bit more inside where he's safe ( from getting under behind furnature ) , the crawling often encourages a movement. A bath in shallow tepid ( 30 deg C ) water , with gentle tummy rubs will often help too. If it gets > 2 weeks since a poo , cut back on the solids and keep up the olive oil , free ranging , baths and he should deliver a very stinky motherload. Solid foods will only add to the backlog in his stomach and GIT and make the impaction worse So it's liquids and sloppy pastes til he gives you a poo and you are sure the impaction has been resolved , as he'll get the nutrients, fats and proteins he needs from the liquid diet. I'd take to a vet if it get past 3 or 4 weeks ( as the contents of GIT would be getting very putrid and rotten ), the last resort IMO is the vet mechanically forcing the contents of stomach into the GIT under pressure with water , and I'll caution against allowing the vet to do this along with an enema .... this has been cause of lizards dying .
