Ok so my beardie hasn’t pooped in like forever. Nor have they shed. I spray them and they don’t drink water. But they eat fine and run around to catch the food because I make then chase the roach of my finger. So it’s not like they are hurting I am just concerned

How long is forever? Of its been longer than 2 weeks then id be a little worried.
watch that and lemme know if any of it helped :( , warm baths, tummy rubs, and fruits with lots of water content, in the meantime can you tell us what hes been eating ?, so maybe we can prevent this happening again…..

What do the dubias eat? He need more than just roaches, he needs other bugs too, most importantly Is he black bearding, or showing signs of stress (tank surfing, lethargy, eyes closed)

They just each roach food. he isn’t doing any of that. That why I’m confused because I’d think he would be showing signs

That’s good at least, check his uvb it may need replacement, or his heat bulb needs to be hotter, if you dont already give the roaches fresh veggies as you would the dragon, that will help them be healthier for him, and will help with digestion :( idk what else you should do, maybe some others will comment their advice.

The roaches need hydration --- feed water crystals or pellets - they should be fed at nite so when feeding he next day they are good and gut loaded -- make sure the salads are rinsed before serving that is the best way for the dragon to get hydration --- UVB and basking temps are EXTREMELY important for digestion --- you keep saying they and them do you have more than one dragon in a tank ??????????? NO coils for UVB and basking temps need to be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer NO stick ons please

Basking is about 110, is that too hot. They barely ever bask their tummy
Yes that is correct I don’t know the gender. I do feed the roaches water crystals.
