Bearded dragon not going to the bathroom?!

[AshLaRee]

Can someone help me understand this? My bearded dragon has not gone to the bathroom for several weeks now, but is acting completely normal! He’s active and has an appetite every day. What’s going on? I’ve soaked him in water many times for long periods but nothing comes out. Should I take him to the vet?

No vet you do not want an enema done --- try some baby prunes or unsweetened applesauce or some baby food squash - w/ a little bit of olive oil --feed until he poops keep w/ the warm bath a little warmer than usual -- you want natural laxatives ---- what goes in does come out ---- unless you have fed a oversize insect --- how old is the dragon?

A year and a half old, I believe. I have been feeding him apples and bananas for the past two days or so. I will definitely try all those things. Thank you!

Fruit should be fed occasionally-- he needs greens mostly - here is a website for nutrition
