No she hasnt ever been in sand. I had moss in here cage for the humidity box but i took it out yesterday because someone said that she could have eaten some. If she is impacted how could i get her to go to the bathroom again?

put warm water in rubermaid dish. and bath it for about half an hour a day for a few days.. if it doesn't go by then, a vet is in need.

Its not on sand but I think a warm bath will help.If it doesn't poop it needs a vet.

I doubt that anything is wrong with it. If you've only had it for 4 days, I doubt that it has eaten anything. If it hasn't, then what is there to poop out? Just give it a little while, and as long as it doesn't start loosing any weight, then I personally wouldn't worry about it.

It might not be the moss that is impacting it, but i have been feeding her alot of mealies. She has eaten 2 crickets and about 10 mealworms. The mealworms are about this big: ---------. The only reason that i ask if something is wrong with her is because the first night i got her she went to the bathroom and hasnt since.
