My beardie hasnt pooped since monday and nobody was answering me on the health forum. He constantly closes one eye and i dont know why.

I took a picture because idk if he is constipated or not as you can see in the picture he has his legs up almost.

Update he just tried to pooh he was really pushing and only the white stuff came out!! What does that mean??

Try a shallow, warm bath. That should help him to go. Be sure all prey items and shredded veggies are no longer than the space between his eyes.

I gave him one yesterday now one today most of the crickets are no bigger then space of his eyes if not all what else can i do. He has carpet.

Try Gettin him to drink lots of water and keep giving warm baths to relax the muscles for a bowel movement. Possible he couldve eaten some thing loose and is passing it through. GOOD LUCK!

What kind of foods have you been feeding?

What kind of lighting set-up do you have?

What is the basking temp? You will need to use a digital thermometer with a probe to get an accurate reading.

you can try some unsweetened baby applesauce with a drop or two of olive oil in it..also canned pumpkin <not the kind for pumpkin pie> warm bath and massage his tummy from his armpit to his vent gently

Dusted gutloaded crickets + collard greens when he eats them. I have been having a problem with the temps because i cant get it in the right spot either too high or too low but usually in the 100's. Its been 112 which is my problem. I use a digital with a probe. I have a repti-sun 10.0

 

[JCuratola]

Hello? Is he going to get past whatever is wrong?

 

[kcarello]

Have you given him a warm bath? Have you tried the unsweetened applesauce with some olive oil? Do you have a bright white basking light right next to the uvb light?

 

[JCuratola]

The basking spot isnt directly next to the uvb its like 5 inches away. Its an Exo-terra 100 watt "intense basking spot" bulb. I gave him a bath yesterday and today. Today he tried to poop and only the white stuff came out. It seems the only time he wants to poop is when he is out of his viv. Also how can i give him the olive oil? He refuses to drink because he is a baby.

They usually lift their toes like that when the ground is too hot

It was only around 95 during that time

 

[RainMaiden]

Was the probe put directly on the basking rock?

It sounds like you are doing everything right care wise. His basking spot is warm enough for proper digestion, so that is good. I'm not sure what is causing his constipation. Sometimes it happens for no apparent reason though. I would definitely try the suggestions you have been given by other members. The unsweetened applesauce with some olive oil is a great idea and should get things flowing again.

Put the olive oil in some baby food squash or canned pumpkin with no spices. Add a touch of water to the pumpkin. Drop it on her nose and let her lick it off.
