my 10-12 week old bearded dragon hasn't pooped in a few days. she is eating greens and crickets daily. her basking temp is 108 and shes getting all her vitamins. i tried soaking her and still no poop. she acts normal. how can i get her to poop?

thanks
mike

a couple drops of mineral oil can do the trick, but make sure its just a couple drops and keep her hydrated. what are you feeding her? size crickets? give her warm baths massaging her belly gently towards her vent, hope that this helps some.

I'm having the same problem with my 4 month old. She's eating well and has a nice round belly, but she hasn't pooped in a couple days. How often should beardies poo? (she has been eating crickets since her last poo).
Thanks,
maggie.

my adults go once daily, my baby (approx 3 months old) goes once, twice sometmies 3 times a day depending on how much he eats that day. You might try bathing them in warm water and rubbing her belly gently towards her vent and see if that helps.
