RE: Bearded dragon no poop for 3 days

I wouldnt imagine its anything to panic about. i dont watch how often mine go but im sure its more then three days quite often. Unless youve been feeding him/her live food thats too big and its stuck somewhere in the gut. Have you? Also what is your substrate and how long have you been using that substrate for?

Easiest way to do it is a drop of oil on a couple of crickets. That will get it through 'em!

My boy only goes when he has a bath, and it is always longer than 3 days. I really wouldn't worry....

They tend to poop more on a fruit/vegie diet.

Sorry or try to give her them?
You have to try and persist with that by trying different items every day.Do not give in and think that she will starve.
In a natural inviroment they eat vegtable matter and we have to give them every thing they would eat that is close to similar.That includes insects and vegies.

i give her fresh veggies every day in a low bowl but she doesn't get what she is suposed to do i don't think because she won't drink from a bowl either so i spray her and bath her 3-4 times a week.

the only thing i've seen her eat is strawberry i usually give her grated carrot, endive and canterlope. Strawberries are too expensive at the moment because at the fruit shop their from queensland.
