When should I worry?

We got Puff yesterday and he has yet to poop yet. When should I worry?

I wouldn't worry just yet, he may be stressed or something. Let him settle for a few days and if you can handle him, give him a warm bath (no deeper than his shoulders) and gently massage his belly. this may help with his bowel movement.

Ok. He's most likely stressed, but we can handle him fine and he's had 2 baths already. I'll try the bath again tomorrow. I'd feel so much better if he left a present in the tank soon!

Good luck. It is worrying, i was sick with worry when my beardie didn't poop for a day. I now get excited when he leaves me his 'gift' in the morning lol. Keep me posted on how he's doing

Don't worry! Sometimes it takes days. As a matter of fact, my Louie hasn't pooped in about a week and a half..but she is older and has been brumating on and off.

You can also dab a drop of olive oil or his nose for him to lick off...that usually gets things moving.
