Advice needed

[Jessica Booth]

Hi! This is Hope and she hasnt pooped in almost 2 weeks[emoji848] We've been bathing her twice a day in warm water, massaging her stomach & flap in the bath... we have tried olive oil, baby food (apple sauce & Prunes) with no luck. Any and all suggestions/advice welcome! Thanks in advance

Is she eating normal? What are her tank temps? What substrate do you have in her tank? Have you tried 100% pure pumpkin puree (in the baking section for pumpkin pies **just plain pumpkin**) add enough water to it to be able to do a slurry with it. Have you tried hornworms? Be careful with the baby food as they don't need the added sugar. It would be better to use her greens and make a slurry with them that way it's better for her and your adding more water to help..

Yep, shes eating greens daily. Shes not much for protein anymore but we do give her 2 super worms per day (one in the morning and one at night). Tank temps are 90-110 during the day & drops down to about 70 at night. I have not tried pumpkin so I will go get that today. As for hornworms.. tomorrow makes 2 weeks since she had one and the last time she pooped.

Any updates? you can increase the temp a bit and keep giving watered down pumpkin or the greens and well she's got to go sometime...the female I had would go 20-35 days between (not often but)

I gave her a big juicy hornworm at 2PM today, another warm bath this evening and lots of exercise... 11PM and still nothing (shes been asleep ofcourse since 730PM) I did not make it to the store to get pumpkin but she drank plenty of water today & she ate most of her greens. I'm going to the store tomorrow to get pumpkin and will continue bathing her.

Lol not really sure sometimes they will just not go..sometimes its temp, a change in something, their lighting will be old even new ones will affect them. A change in food...meds. parasites...
That's why trying to get their schedule and behavior is important so you know when to worry...

I have a big girl that will hold it for weeks at a time and then let it all out. I think she hates me LOL!
