Relocation Stress and BM?

Hey guys,
Bayne hasn't went to the bathroom in a few days and I'm wondering if it's because we moved in with my parents and he's stressing about the new environment. Will that cause him to not go?
Also, can I bathe him or will that just add more stress? He's starting to get pretty bloated

.

Warm water and a little swimming always makes Ody poop; if he hasn't yet by the time I got home; however he's been pretty spot on so far.

I get two poops if I do the bath after he pooped already lol....

I am glad to hear he's gone

I'm glad he went too, just not too enthused about where he went, haha.

She's been going like every three days. This is the longest she's held it. Gave her a bath on Thursday night that didn't help. Going to get some canned pumpkin and try that.

I let Bayne go one week and then put a very small drop of olive oil on his roach and he went the next night

The last few days with Dolly, I've done pumpkin, pumpkin with olive oil. We did a long warm soak and massage. I gave her two hornworms yesterday and a little tiny bit of mineral oil. Today we are going to try a warmer soak and some prunes!

prunes...oh no.... lol... I have fortunately and unfortunately have been having no issue with Ody pooping.....took him out since he was holding the glass staring at me....had him on my shoulder and he started climbing up my arm and....I saw it coming....the signs all flared immediately.....spread those back legs over my arm and propped the tail up and .... I had .0001 seconds to start moving.....

no luck; he crapped all over my arm....down my shoulder...and back.....and some got on my sheets.....lol.....

Ran to the bathroom tossed him in the sink (yes...gently...) and turned on some lukewarm water to wash him and had to take care of myself; least to say he is very hydrated.....no hydration issues here......it was dripping while I ran; had to catch the poop juice with my other hand while he hung on to my arm....

Lmao it must have been some sight to see.......what a circus....

I got my poop today! We did prunes and then a nice long very warm soak. I am so relieved (and so was she LOL!) And while I was tending to her, Luci pooped and ran through and painted his tank with it and his whole body!

My Beardie just finished a stretch of a little over a month without going. I bathed like crazy and did the belly rubs to no avail. Was in a panic over it. Did the prunes and within 2 days he went. It was pretty dried out so I'm really working on keeping hydrated as much as I can.
