Concerning Behavior

[livvlewiss]

So my baby is about 4-7 months old, I've been feeding her crickets and veggies everyday. Today she started acting a bit weird Earlier in the day I took her out of her enclosure and brought her downstairs to sit on the couch with us, she started gaping, which I just assumed was temp regulation since she's done it before, but afterwards I thought she was gonna have a poop but it was just a small bit of urate. I thought maybe because I interrupted her she didn't poop but she was in her enclosure for a good bit of the day after that until about 8:30pm. I brought her back down still no poop, been about 3 days and she normally goes every 3-4 days. She started gaping again so I took her outside incase she had to go again andI would not interrupt. But nothing again. So we went back in and she immediately just went and snuggled into the pillows which is what she does to go to sleep. I wouldn't find it weird but googling got the best of me and the other day outside she ate some grass and I read they weren't able to digest it. I'm worried she has a blockage or something I don't know what the gaping could mean but I don't think it's temp regulation anymore at this point. Anyone have any insight on this?? TIA (sorry for the long post lol)

Gaping is good- dragons are pretty hardy I don't think the grass will plug her up - as dragons get older they don't poop as often - can you go over your surface basking temps and the uvb your using please-- surface temps should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer-
