my dragons poop is stuck to his bottom!!! it appears that his poop is stringy or he may have licked a hair off the ground a few days ago. his bum looks red, maybe bleeding on the inside. what do i do????
I'd still cut it, give a slight tug to either side and see if one is loose.
As far as sexing, you'll have to put a bit more pressure on the tail to determine that. Lift up gently, if you see one distinguishable lump, female. Two is a male.
If his bum is red, he is indeed straining. If he is bleeding, you need to get him to a vet.
Feed him some organic baby food prunes to help him pass it and ease his discomfort. My boyfriend's bearded dragon was finally able to poop on his own after a series of impactions when we fed him organic baby food prunes. You have no idea how long this hair may be or if it is tangled in his intestines.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
