Constipated Beardie

tattoogirl212 Dec 04, 2004 01:02 PM

Hi, all. My beardie hasn't pooped in over a day, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can help him out? I tried to feed him a commercial diet, and I think that is what is binding him up. The food is called exotherm dragon yummies, he loved it, but I think that is what is causing his problem. Has anyone else had any bad experiences w. this stuff? He was fine, he ate this stuff on Thurs. night, and no poops since. He will still eat, tore up his veggie mix this morning.
Thanks!
Sharon

Why does everyone ask about constipation if a reptile does go every day?

because the animal usually goes 3-4 times in a day, last time he went was on Thursday morning/afternoon, thus this is a strange behavior for him. if he had gone yesterday, or even this morning, there would have been no problem, and the question wouldn't have been asked. sorry to bother you.

seems to help, plus he'll get a bit to drink while he's there.
