I just purchased my beardie on sat. He just went to the bathroom for the first time Wed. Looked like a normal stool, well formed, dark, smelly. He didnt go today. I have heard that they should go everyday. Is this true. He doesnt appear to be ill, he is eating well, active durring the day sleeping at night. Is it okay for them not to go everyday?

His temps are okay according to everything i have read. eating small crickets and plenty of greens.

That's fine they don't go everyday. If you're worried about constipation give him a soak in a warm bath, that'll usually get things moving.

They won't go everyday depending on how you feed and how active he is. Plus some dragons don't have that fast a digestive speed, they might go only twice a week or so. Depends on the animal. Some water might help too.
