My beardie, Kamille, born on January 23rd, is acting really strange and I messed up really bad and fed her some that were a little large, and it's been 2 and a half days and she hasn't eaten any crickets or vegetables, and she's only pooped once. I've bathed her 3 times, and she still won't eat. Help me please.

What did you feed her exactly? Crickets, mealworms, roaches? Keep up the baths and rub her tummy with a firm but gentle stroke from the ribs towards the vent while she's soaking. You can make the water a little warmer than usual but not hot. What is her basking surface temp and what type of thermometer are you using to measure the temps?

I feed her crickets.
The temp is 99-101. 
I use an infra-red laser thermometer.
She's a little more active now, but still refusing to eat, and hasn't pooped anymore.

Try bumping those temps up around 4 degrees.  You can offer 100% pure pumpkin.
Continue with hydration (soaking).
Hope this helps.

She is all better today. She pooped 3 times, and ate normally. Thank you! Smiley

Good to hear! I would still bring those temps up a bit. 105* is the lowest I allow my dragons' basking temps to go. Any lower, you risk problems with digestion.

My beardie has been having the same issue since I upgraded his tank from  20 long to a 40 breeder. I had an exoterra 100w tight beam and temps were hitting 110-115 with a heating pad. Once I upgarded the temperatures were barely hitting 100. It has been almost a week since he has pooped. I bought an exoterra 150w tight beams yesterday to try and get some higher temps. It has hit around 105 so im hoping by tomorrow he will poop.
