Should I be worried

[galipeau03]

My beardie is going on his second day without going to the bathroom. I usually have to clean his cage two times a day he is about 3 months old always been very healthy. I did give him small pieces of apple could that have done it. Also I did get a new uvb light which is the dreded reptiglo 10.0 which is going right back to the pet store today. What can I do to insure his health. thanks dave

It seems both me and you are having the same problem about no one answering our posts...Anyways...could you just answer these questions just to give me the low down on everything and I can help you out. And with the whole not pooping thing, try to give him a warm bath, usually that clears them out right away.

Hi.
Has your beardie used the bathroom yet?

Have the feeders you have been giving him been smaller than the space between his eyes?

He pooped and seems just fine now eating and running around right after I gave him a warm bath and rubbed his belly.

Yay!!! That's great. Mine always waits till he's in the bath to do his stuff...makes clean up a lot easier... :lol: ...
As jiffy asked, how big are the feeders? and what are they? Do you use a calcium and vitamin supplement?
