So Della didn't poop in like 6 days, so I took her to the vet. The Vet gave her some meds for pinworm. Well she has not gone again in like 8 days and I'm worried. Do beardies not go when they brumate? She like to always hide/sleep right away when I let her out, and her appetite has dropped slightly, but maybe it is maybe because she is getting older, about 6 months . Any suggestions? ?Could it be brumation?, the meds? the crickets or the vegies?. just confused. thanks for the advice

She is a little too young to brumate, in my opinion. She *could* be a bit lethargic because she has pinworms.
Make sure to keep her hydrated – offer water with a syringe or pipette. A bath can also help her poop. I write about this at my homepage: http://www.morion.com/teo/english/experience/frame.html
See under “impacted”, "water" and “baths” in the left frame-border.
Also... make sure the temperature is adequate, if it is too cold she can’t digest her food and that can cause impaction.
Good luck!!
