I'm worried! Idk if he's impacted or if its just that he has mailny been eating babyfood for a week, but Goliath hasn't pooped in quite a few days, (at least 4)

He ate a few crickets today like 5 or 6, but he still hasn't pooped! And i felt his tummy for any obvious obstruction and I think that what I felt is just what he ate for lunch!?!? I've been massaging his little belly, and today gave him a bath and massaged his belly, but still no poop!!

I dont understand :(

I keep getting animals that aren't 100% or end up sick even tho I do everything I'm told :(:confused:

Should I do mineral oil?? He's becoming more active than in previous posts, but he still sleeps all the time. I am at a loss...I think he is doing way better than before, but he is still very sleepy and it bothers me....
 
I would first try allot of extra hydration. Give him extra long warm mistings and see if that works.

Can you mist a beardie? Sorry..forgot to put that in OP.

I've done lots of stuff to hydrate him.. Pedialyte, tried forcing water, baby sweet peas, baby mango.. baths... I even have a shallow water dish in case he will drink from that :(

I though you were asking about a chameleon. I'm not sure if you should mist him but keeping him well hydrated should help.

My bad :( I think misting is bad for beardies, but I'll see if there is anything else I can do to hydrate him.. Thank you
 
a long warm bath may work if not u need to see a reptile vet asap!

My mom just told me that she has been giving him baths and he has pooped, and that it was green (baby food had been his diet since the 1st).

I'm calling the breeder tomorrow, I can't afford to go to the vet right now, and all the herp vets in my area suck.
 
well if he pooped that's a good sign but yeah contact the breeder or try and go to beardeddragon.org and ask for help too.
