Hey for those who don't know Slevin is just over a year old and we've had him for about 7 or 8 months. He's never had a bad visit to the vet, all good marks. Now the question...What is the longest your beardies have gone without pooping? If Slevin doesn't go today that will be 3 days that he hasn't. I bathed him yesterday and today to try to get him to. He didn't seem to enjoy his bath as much as usual either and he climbed up on my hand after only about 5 minutes. His temps are fine at 98-101 basking spot depending on the height he goes to and the cool side is 78 today.
But the real problem is he doesn't have an appetite today. He wouldn't come out of his hides up until 1100 or so and I had to life the hides off of him. Then when I tried to feed him he wouldn't go for his crickets and he would only eat a few red bell pepper chunks from my hand. And he won't stay on his basking rocks. He's just laying under his hides.
When I took him out of his bath I wrapped him up till he dried off then I let him walk around the living room for a bit and he was really active. Then I put him back in his cage and warmed up on his basking spot for a bit then went under his hides. Now as I'm typing I can hear him scratching on his tiles. Could it be brumation time? Impaction? Should I take him in to the vet?
