Critter wont poop

[Marcy]

My Critter has not pooped in 12 days. He has been given multiple baths, applesauce with olive oil, baby prunes, belly massages galore and still won't poop. Granted, he is not eating much at all, refuses his crickets and roaches. Not touching his fruits or veggies. He is active and well hydrated. He is in his brumation cycle but is still active when awake. The only thing new in his schedule is traveling to and from work via car, but always travels skin to skin.
Please help! Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks!
Marcy

If he isn't eating much, there may not be much waste in his system to excrete. Since he's in brumation, it's a little less concerning.

How often is he being transported back and forth? Relocation can be super stressful on beardies, which can mess up their immune system and disturb good gut flora. In the event that it's not a side effect of brumation, the stress may be throwing things off.

you can add in some pure pumpkin in the can (or fresh if you've got them blended smooth) if in the can make sure it's 100% pure not the baking stuff...
Probiotic powder to help the gut flora.. if not eating much they REALLY have incredible GI tracts they absorb as much as possible and go thru slower to get all that can come out of the food before it is pooped out.. so depending on how much they've eaten they won't poop as much while in brumation.
keep up with the hydration as you don't want it to be hard to poop as that can make them strain too hard causing prolapse...and warm to even slightly warmer than normal..
