Strange Pooping Habits

[mjkrat22]

So me beardie, name The Beast, is about 6 and half months old. He used to poop regularly, pooping every one or two days, but recently as he has gotten older I have noticed that he he pooping about once every week and he will only poop in the bath, he won't poop in his vivi anymore! So I have to give him a warm bath so he will poop!

He eats fruits and veggies regularly. crickets dusted with calcium and vitamin supplement, mealworms waxworms etc. The only thing that has changed in his diet a little is the size of the crickets, I upgraded up to mediums which are perfect for him. The temps are all fine and he is still eating good.

I don't know if his pooping habits are normal or not, so if someone can help me out I would gladly appreciate it!!

I know poopingnin the bath is normal. A lot of beardies potty trainnthemselvesnand will only go in a certain spot, the bath being very popular. As for going only once a week, that doesn't sound normal. Maybe someone with a bit more experience than i can be a bit more helpful. If it continues, i would see a herp vet.

My bearded dragon had always been a once a week pooper, you might be interested in this thread, my advice bath more often.

I agree with the other posters. I would bathe daily, to offer him the chance to go. It won't hurt him to have daily baths. One of my three is a bath pooper, and I have to make sure he gets his bath every morning so he is not uncomfortable throughout the day.
