Baby bd haveing issues

[blackclaw83]

We believe our baby bd is constipated but could be wrong, that is why we are bringing it to you all. But these are the symptoms he has..

He ate yesterday morning with no issues. He ate 7 crixs and 1 small mealiworm,and what ever salad he had. In his salad was mustard greens, kale greens, colored greens and carrots all diced extremely small. but would not eat after his bath yesterday in which he drank a lot of water. Today he did poop in the am, but still seemed bloated, and would not eat anything all day.

Any ideas or help?

To be truthful, I don't understand the worry. He's not likely constipated because he pooped today. He ate good yesterday ... because he doesn't eat for a day or 2 is not cause for alarm. If he doesn't eat for 3-4 days to a week with noticeable weight loss, then there may be cause for worry. If your temps & other husbandry are up to par, you have no reason to worry at this time. They can have a few off days just like us.

Your beardie is ok and like Germ said....not to worry. Beardies are very good causing us owners to worry. My Spike didn't do his usual poo yesterday but his belly is b-i-g!! I am expected a big one after breakfast!! I also may give him a warm bath....and stroke is belly in the water....that should do the trick!! Good Luck!!

sounds like hes pooping normal and fine. as new Bearded dragon owners( im still very new to dragons) we tend to worry over every little thing with them. its not a bad thing we just tend to get in a tizzy over nothing.

its good to see your caring for him a lot.
