Hey everyone! Super thankful for this forum. I have a new bearded dragon named Merlin, and I am guessing that she is around 4-5 years old. She has a bit of trouble getting around, but I love her! The breeder I bought her from said that she can have problems pooping sometimes, and it's been around a week now with no poo.
Set up: 40 gal, basking 100-110, cool side 70-80, plenty of furniture, hammock. Basking lamp only a few inches away from basking spot.
How can I get this girl to pass a poop? I have read about olive oil doing the trick, and for the past few days I've dipped some hornworms into olive oil and fed them to her! She gobbled them up. Trying to coat as much of her food with olive oil as possible. I've also read of prune baby food and pumpkin as well (hope she goes for those).
I've also been giving baths. She hates them, but when she settles down I go to massage her belly but still nothing. Should I let her run around the entire length of my bath tub? Just want to get my girl cleared out! Thanks all.
