Take him to the vet ASAP. It may be impaction. Is he moving his hind legs? He may also have some sort of calcium defiency. I would talk to the pet store about covering some vet bills as you are taking this poor guy in out of the kindness of your heart. If his history is unknown, or even if it is, always best to get at least a fecal done to rule out parasites. In your case, I would bring a fecal and the beardie in for sure. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
