My bearded dragon hasn’t pooped in over a week. He won’t eat anything but a couple meal worms. He’s acting normal though running around find letting me pick him up. He don’t seem to be in any pain just won’t eat or poo. I don’t feel any kind of bumps on his back or stomach area. He not lethargic or anything. Any idea of what i can do? Vets are more the 2 hours away i’m willing to go but does anyone know anything on maybe why he’s doing thisV

Feed him some baby food pumpkin till he poops add a drop of olive oil and drop of honey- make sure he stays hydrated - meal worms are for treats only how old is the dragon

He was getting water by eating his salads but he stopped eating so i don’t think he’s getting any water from anything cause he won’t eat anything at all

Please drop water on his nose so he licks keep dropping till he stops or moves away - he needs water to keep his bowels moving

Ok when he poops after eating the pumpkin watch and see if he has white urate and if it's chalky looking or dried out - same w/ the dark poop see if it's dried out-

At this point; he could be headed into a semi-hibernation-like state.
They do it first at about a year old.

Typically they start at 1Y.O but they can start @ 10 mos. old.

You said he's turning 1 in October.
Def. get him a bowel movement before brumation.


Then they do it about once a year.

Hello,

Sometimes, it just takes awhile! Reptiles have slower digestive systems so keep at it with feeding
him softer foods like the pumpkin, butternut squash & sugar free applesauce.
Be sure his basking temperatures are optimal, too for him.
