Why?

[doe222]

caesar used to poop everyday in the morning about 2 hours of waking up. nothing has changed i offer new veggies everytime one is out. his feeding schedual and amount he eats is about the same as a month ago when this started hapening. now sometimes he doesnt poop everyday actually its rare to see back to back days of pooping. i have started giving him a bath every other day to get him to poop because im afraid hes becoming impacted. i give him superworms but 1-2 every other day i dont see that causing him to become impacted and this new thing started before i gave them to him. whats goin on? is it just because hes getting older? he gets about 4-5 hours of basking at 105 now and 12 hours or UVB (arcadia 12%) daily. he is now parasite free hes been over pinworms for about a month now.

I think when they get older they have less bowel movements. Lincoln freaked me out when I first got him (he was about 9 months) I thought they pooped every day but he had other plans.

yeah, they tend to go less when they get older.

how old is Caesar?

keep up with the baths, and you can always get Acidophiliz+ http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=227 to help with digestion. i feed to my beardies once in a while, you can mix it in with food.

Is he on sand, walnut shells, or any other kind of loose substrate that could cause impaction? When he DOES poop, does it look healthy & normal or dry? Have you checked for undigested superworms in his stool? Has his appetite changed at all? Sorry for the interrogation, just trying to help! : )
