I got spike in Feb. at a reptile expo. Breeder said he was 5 wks (I think hes older because he's about 9-9 1/2". He won’t poop when I bathe him, or in his tank. He only goes when I let him out & runs around my room & poops on something. Does anyone know how to fix this? Last time he went was on Sunday when I let him out, but I haven’t taken him out since and he still hasn’t gone.
I've tried, and he runs away. I feed him about 12 crickets a day, and lettuce every other day. I was just reading to not feed them lettuce, so I"m going to go out tomorrow to get something else. and yes I spray him multiple times a day. I just don't want him to get in the habit of thinking my bedroom is his bathroom haha

Maybe the crickets might be too big for him .Do you have him on sand if so remove it completely as both of those can be impaction risk causing him to have problems poop or he could just be one very weird dragon
Ask for food yes lettece holds no nutritional value . Maybe this website might help u on deciding what u want to feed him http://www.beautifuldragons.com

Some bearded dragons don't like to mess up their living space, so they'll wait until you take them out and then poop in your living space instead. Some of them can learn to poop in the water when you give them a bath, and some not so much.
I would suggest that when you first take him out of his tank, put him in a confined area on some paper towels, or somewhere that you can clean up easily, until after he poops. Then you can let him run around wherever he's safe. Some bearded dragons can be kind of sort of housebroken, but don't expect perfection. :roll: They basically make their own decisions about where they're going to poop.

Lettuce is worthless in a beardies diet.... better green leafys are buk choi , dandelion greens , kale .
If he's very young , under 4 - 6 months old, don't obsess over the hatchling not eating his greens and grated vegs, it's MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAT HE GET LOTS OF HIGH QUALITY LIVE INSECTS AT LEAST TWO TIMES A DAY and regular dietary calcium.

Yes I feed him crickets twice daily, and I just picked up some dandelion greens which he seemed to like! and the crickets have a gut load block, but I was just told that might not be enough calcium and to use the calcium powder
