[Reptile_Junkie]

My baby hasn't pooped for two weeks now and is basking and sleeping a lot I've tried bathing him daily but still no joy I'm really worried any ideas?

Wot the temps ? A cold beardie wnt poop.

 

[Luvthemanimal]

What's temps on hot side and cool side?
Do u feel any lumps/hard spots in its belly?

Try warm bath or pure pumpkin.

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

It is 30 Celsius on the hot side and 20 Celsius on the cold side bathing him daily in warm bath and his belly has some hard spots on it

 

[diegothediggy]

Ur temps need to b warmer than that the baskin side should b around 40 celsius and the cool side around 30. Try getting a larger watt buld what do u use at the min(bulb watt) they need to have a real gud bask after eatin to digest there food. Does he ever open his mouth whukd basking?

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

Just done that now and his opening his mouth now so is this a good sign?

 

[PatsyB]

Yep he is regulating his body temperature, thats a good sign. Along with pumpkin, a few drops of olive oil helps too.

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

Ya his a lot more active since I put the new bulb in but still no poop hopeful there will be some in the morning

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

My Lizzie had the same problem seriously it was like a month no poop I was freaking out so I got some advice from these awesome beardie parents on here so far u are doing things good try some soft foods only NO SOLIDS give ur beardie the pure pumpkin sugar free apple sauce some fresh blueberries ! My Lizzie finally went after doing applesauce with a small amt of olive oil and warm baths twice a day 30 min each then right on the basking log ! It took us a few days of that regimen and he finally gave birth to a huge mountain ! Good luck and keep us up to date

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

The thing is he not good eating his veg should I not feed him crickets for a few days so he be hungry enough to eat veg

 

[Beardielizzy]

Hmmm can u purée some and put it in a syringe and try to offer him some that way

 

[Beardielizzy]

We did that with the apple sauce and olive oil I swear that's what worked plus the warm bath massages !

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

I had a beardie before that wouldn't eat by himself so I've done that with a syringe and he got into the habit so I always had to hand feed him so I don't want to get him into that habit il wait a few more days and see what happens thanks for your help

 

[Beardielizzy]

Oh my so that's what my lizzy is doing to me he won't really eAt unless I out the bowel right under his mouth and practically feed him from a spoon or the dish what a spoiled brat lol ! Good luck give it time maybe continue those warm baths to keep him hydrated keep us posted and I will be thinking of him

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

. I've never been so happy to see poop lol

 

[Reptile_Junkie]

Looks abit odd though there a pinkie there that no digested fully maybe that was the problem
