Wont poop!

[TyLiz1024]

Bearded dragon hasn't pooped in a couple days. He has been doing this a lot lately, sometimes it won't be for over a week. have tried giving him baths but still no luck. Any tips?

How old is he? What are you feeding him and how much does he eat? What is your setup like, temps, uvb etc?

he's almost a year, 55 gallon tank temp at about 113. feed him crickets about 5-10 daily ,sometimes mealworms and wax warm as treats, greens and different veggies.

Is this something that has just started? When he does go what does the poo look like? Any undigested food etc? I know mealworms can cause impaction as harder to digest.

How has he been otherwise, still active and looking healthy?

poop looks normal, this started about 3 weeks ago. has been hiding a lot more during day. i have cut back on the worms bc i was told the same thing you said.

Hi. It sounds like semi burmation. It's normal for older dragons not to go every day. My 3 semi burmate and don't eat much and definitely don't go every day. I have one that goes once a week. As long as he isn't loosing weight he'll be fine.
