Usually his poop schedule is pooping every week, but recently... he hasn't been so lucky. I'm going to try and get prune juice, to see if that helps. But currently Idk what to do.
zoo med UVB lightYour beardie should be pooping at least once a day. Please answer the following:
-UVB light brand and type
-Basking lamp
-Substrate
-Staple and frequent feeders
-Is your beardie dragging his legs?
-Feel his stomach. Is it soft and normal-feeling or hard?
-Is he eating his food and swallowing properly?
Give him a warm bath in the meantime. Impaction can be fatal if left untreated, and it may require surgery to fix.
The superwoms are probably the culprit-they shouldn't be a staple (high in phosphorus, a variety of crickets/roaches/worms is best), and can cause impaction if they're too large. Switch to crickets or dubias when you can as main feeders and use the supers as a supplement.zoo med UVB light
heat lamp (they came in a dual fixture turtle set, same thing as a beardie just smaller because of his tank size)
around 5 super worms a day, with fruits every now and then. he is nearly an adult so he will be switching to mostly greens soon.
He lives on a large tile floor
and his legs aren't dragging
his stomach is soft as usual
and he still eats with a full appetite and properly
