Dont worry, they poop more irregularly as they get older ,it could be just natural. Rule out it not being a lighting/temp problem first, check your temperatures. If they are ok, just keep an eye on him. Give him a bath, that will often loosen bowels

How old is Mordy? Make sure you get a fecal check done to rule out parasites as that can mimic brumation..

Mine are about that age too and with the weather being all over the place both of mine have been sleeping more and just being super slugs.. Izzy has some parasites that we are working on ridding her of.. but Simon is 100% healthy but slept the last 5 days

i had two beardies one that poops everyday n one who poops maybe once a week. both get fed the same and both have correct heat. i recently took Boris (the less reg pooper) to the vet... n while i was there i asked about it. he sed its the same as ppl sone just go more than others. we always find a nice warm bath helps a lot. once ur beardie in the water keep topping it up with warm water (obciously nit too warm same as a baby if it feel ok on ur elbow it will b fine).

when a beardie gapes its mouth its to regullatr its temp so kind of its at a nice temp n wants to stay there. maybe lift tje basking spot a bit by adding a piece of broken paving slab just file the sodes and disinfect it befire putting it in. maybe ur beardie not getting warm enough.

I replied in the other post but you can try canned pumpkin 100% pure pumpkin, bump up the bath temp a bit, bump up basking temp, juicy bugs, sometimes gentle belly massages... My female Izzy has gone 16 days between pooping..
