pooooooping...

[*~* ßêR *~*]

how often should a 1 year old beardie poop?  tomorrow it will be a week since zoey pooped and im getting nervous about this.  her belly seems to be getting bigger, but she keeps eating like her normal ways.  im wondering if she's plugging up from not eating veggies?  she's only pooed in the tub once, and i think that freaked her out because she hasn't done it since.

Both mine are close to that age and go about once a day. I would keep soaking zoey every day or two. If she refuses to eat veggies maybe try skipping one of her meals and then only offering her veggies for the next meal. It worked for mine when they were not eating veggies. Hope your girls goes soon:)

Amber... What has been in her diet this week ? Are her temps still good ?  And the UVB ?
If all is as it should be.. offer some squash or 100% pumpkin.
Hope this helps.

her diet for the past bunch of months has been crickets.  she hasn't really touched her veggies and i've tried everything. her temps are usually basking 105 and cooler 80.  the uvb is a t-rex active uv heat and this morning it died so i just put one in about a half hour ago.  other than that it was brand new in feb.  (im kinda ticked about that)  right now i've been giving her butternut squash with some strawberries to entice her (she likes them)  but no go, she just turns her nose away.  she's even turning her nose at dandelions which she ate a couple here n there for the past couple weeks.  and her greens are mustard greens now.  i've tried collard, turnip, and now im trying mustard.  all of them a no go.  could this be from her needing a bigger tank?  i've been on the boyfriend for a while now to start the "build" but he's just a procrastinator.  her viv is 35" x 17".  she will usually eat crix everyother day, by her choice, and they are dusted with calicum.  the vet said to do it for a while because she thought she could feel some tremmors when she held her last.  it's to the point too where she will not chase the crix, i have to put them in something and put it right under her nose, then she'll eat them if she wants to.

ok, after staring at her in her viv for the past zillion hours i think i may notice a difference in her light.  the boyfriend doesn't think so, but im the mama and notice every little thing normally. lol  i think it might be a bit brighter than the last one, so maybe that was a defective one?  she ate some crix tonight, not as many as normal.  and this time i had to get really pushy for her to eat them!!  when i push around on her tummy she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.  i didn't get a chance to soak her today because i had to work and then right off to my daughters birthday gathering.  on my way home from work tomorrow im hitting the store up to see about some babyfood squash.  i know if i get real squash she won't touch it.  so im going to try to get some in her that way.  if she doesn't poo by tuesday im going to call the vet.

Naw, no need for all that.. try the 100% pumpkin first.. Keep the vet appt, but try the pumpkin... When poop arrives, just bag it all up and keep in the door of the fridge. 
Hope that helps.

ok.  i don't know where i'd get the pumpkin?  they only sell pumpkins around halloween time here,,, if thats what you mean? lol ugh! children!! lol  can i get it in a can at the store?

[zebrajanie]

Yes.  In the pie filling area... Baking aisle.. but make sure it is the 100%, not the pumpkin pie filling, Okay ?
Good luck and keep us all posted !
