They are very pretty turtles!
Melissa Kaplan has a good article that may help you. Here's the URL
http://www.anapsid.org/constipation.html

The only time I've personally dealt with constipation was on a Sunday during the hottest part of summer when it was too dry here & our sulcata wasn't getting enough moisture. Dripping wet greens fixed the problem for her but that was a pretty superficial problem. Anything more serious than that & I think the vet would be the way I would've gone with her. In fact since this was a Sunday I had planned to call the vet & get her in the next day but the greens solved her problem.

Good luck & let us know what happens.
