trouble pooping

[dylankw]

So my bearded dragon hadn't pooped in over a day so I out her in the bath to help. she finally did poop but the white portion was huge and hard (over 2 in long and bigger around than a pencil). She is 34 weeks old and 19 in long. I am afraid that if I hadn't helped her she might not have been able to pass that. Could something be causing her to have trouble or is there something I can do?

That's an awful lot of poop to build up in a day! The white stuff is urates. When the urates are hard, it is an indication of over-supplementation, I believe. There are 2 places to search above your post. Use the one on the left that will search this forum, not Google. Type in "hard urates" and related articles will appear.

Ok, we stopped supplimentation all together, started wetting her greens, and have been giving her things like squash (squash has caused soft poop in the past), and she has been off and on for the last couple weeks. She pooped just fine for a few days then went back to not pooping, unless she is in the tub. Now she will poop everyday if I bathe her. Her urates aren't as hard, they will actually just wash down the drain now. Is there a chance that UVB could be causing the issue. He lamp is old and a new one is on order, but it will take a few days to get here.
