brokentoe Mar 15, 2005 10:13 PM

my little guy hasnt pooped all day for the first time since i've had him. and hes been going 2 to 3 times a day. i want to try the "soak in warm water idea" but i want to know how warm i should make his pool and how long should i let him soak. any other ideas would be great.he looks really bloated atm and to see him miss or to reduce his meal not only would upset him but me too. help plz

COuld be slightly impacted. How big/Old is he? Lukewarm water is fine (if it feels really comfortable for you, it should be fine! You can let him soak for a good 20-30 minutes or so. Make sure he can stand and support himself!

my 10 week old is fine! following day he pooped double time. can impaction be a cause of to large a live feeder(cricket) other than sand intake? and can beardies be over fed?!

Im glad he is alright! There can be a slight impaction of the intestine from a large feeder insect, causing them to keep the stool in for a longer time. They can be overfed, but a 10 week old should be fed all it can eat! Good luck!

Post photos of the cutie soon!
