Razor hasn't pooped in a month...HELP!

My Beardie, Razor, hasn't pooped in almost a month. We've been giving him warm baths, feeding him plum baby food, olive oil and a mixture of plum baby food, olive oil and honey. He doesn't feel impacted. His cage is properly heated, though the thermometers are about 5 years old. He's active, alert and eating but no poop. I'm getting worried. Do I need to rush him to the vet? What else can I try?

Hi there....is he on a loose substrate like sand ? As long as you're sure that he didn't swallow something like that [ in or out of the tank ] then he will eventually go. Keep up what you're doing, and try putting him on the floor in a very warm room for a bit of a run around, that sometimes works. He is probably going to go any day now. A warmer than usual bath can help too.

A month is a very long time. How is the animal eating?
Frequent long soaks in warm water. It usually stimulates a bowel movement. It wouldn't hurt to give a cc or two of mineral oil.

He POOPED! Right before I took him to the vet for this problem. Sneeaky little dragon :)
He's now on an olive oil regiment to keep him regular. He's still being stubborn but he's okay for now. Thank you!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
