Dragon hasn’t pooped since Monday

Our female beardie hasn’t pooped since Monday. She’s brumating and spends a lot of time in her hide but this is concerning. We feed her dubias and fruit/veggies. Can they get impacted from the Dubia? Could it have anything to do with the temperature in the cage? Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance.

It is not uncommon for them to not poop for long periods of time -- dubias will not impact them unless the insect was too big in size for her- she has been sleeping since Monday? My dragons don't poop for weeks at times- they will poop out what they take in if she's not eating much then she's not gonna poop out much- as long as basking temps are good and your using a good long tube fixture for a UVB she will go poop-- if it gets to a point that you need her to go poop feed her some baby food squash prunes or some unsweetened applesauce- those are laxatives along w/ a good warm bath

Thank you. This is very comforting and helpful.
