Constapated/Not Poopin!

Paradisio Feb 18, 2004 06:02 PM

My iguana has yet to go poop (scientific term), he had done urates, the vet reccomended soaking him which I have done but still nothing. Any advice is reccomended, I am just worried because he is eating a lot but nothing is coming out

Have you tried giving him fruit, maybe a little more than normal. That should help. If my igs eat too much fruit or canned green beans they get mushy or kinda runny poop. I guess it would be considered diarea. Maybe someone else would have a better idea on this.

lol I was about to soak him and he went, yay... not very much... About the size of my leos, but lots of the white stuff, so I think he was backed up
