Rookie Dragon Owner, Help Please!

[Ruhfuze]

My baby dragon has shown good health in the sense that he's eating well and acting normal. But there's one thing I've noticed, he has yet to poop. I've only had him for about 2 1/2 days. Is there maybe a new environment stress factor? He's on repti-carpet substrate and the temperatures are great.

Help please!

What exactly are you feeding him? And what kind of thermometer are u using?Some are up to 30 degrees off. Do you have a repti sun 10 tube ?

I feed him the small crickets (really tiny, not sure the exact size, sorry.)

You could try giving him a warm bath and gently rubbing his belly. Do you know what he was housed on previously? I know a lot of pet stores use sand so he could be a little impacted from before you got him?

Thanks for the help everyone, but he just did everything is going great!

Yay . I believe I've read to rub the right side of their belly in small circles while in a warm bath, if needed in the future!
