Him not being able to get his bowels moving out. Sounds like hes constipated. May be ingesting sand, or maybe not drinking enough water.
Is he drinking? Do you have a low saucer with water available, and does he use it? If not do you give him water with an eye dropper?
Try taking a cricket and putting a dab and I mean DAB, like a couple drops, of mineral oil, or regular cooking oil on it. May loosen things up. REMEMBER a couple drops, too much can cause the runs.
But ya still have to find out WHY they get stuck and are dryish, thats not good and can cause bacterial infections/irratations and what not, keeping that stuck on there like that.
Definitely check/treat for parasites too
I would make sure he gets more water for now 
Thats about all I can think off
