warm baths will help with pooping. there are things you can give to help if she is backed up but you need to let someone show you how first and its hard to tell from this picture. healthy juvies and a pudgy belly are not uncommon.

im guessing it has to be blockage bc now that has come into my mind she hasn't pooped and when i put her in warm water she is more alert and swims and i think try's to use the bathroom and she is always stressed even when im not around according to my mom that sneaks up on her to see.......

If shes impacted you can normally feel it gently rub your finger down her stomach to her vent if you feel a hard spot it could be impaction

Speaking of poop, how often should an adult beardie poop?

Umm, you said you tool the crickets out? Do you leave them in the enclosure? If you leave them in there, they can turn tail and eat your beardie. You need to make sure you only feed what they eat in 5 -10 minutes then remove any leftover. I feed one at a time and that way l know the nasty little buggers can't hide and take revenge later

Depends how often and how much they eat. My girls usually poop every day, but my bous can be every second day. The boys arnt as active nor do they eat as much as the girls. They are all different, you will soon learn what Scarlets routine will be xx
