    Default Poop issue

    hey my cranwelli hasnt pooped in about 3 weeks! in the 3 weeks time hes has eaten 1 mouse 2 hornworms and the rest of his diet was nightcrawlers. So i got really scared when i noticed he has a bit of a bulge on his one side so i didnt feed him for about 5 days and gave him warm bathes everyday and it went down a bit. Then i gave him some repta-aid about 4 daysago to help with the pooping since Griff told me that it has a good amount of fiber in it and still no poop! i fed him a healthy nightcrawler the other day so hopefully soften things up so here are some pictures. He acts completely normal, like still burrows fine just around fine and is always happy when food is around but hasnt pooped for a while I really dont want anything to happen to him so if anyone has any suggests please dont be shy!

    I'm sorry to hear that he still hasn't pooped. :-( Most likely it is because of the mouse. They take longer to digest. Try to maintain higher temps (up to 84-85 in the day, 78-79 at night) and humidity (80%). The soil should be moist; proper hydration will help with bowel movements. Because it has been such a long time, if he doesn't have a bowel movement in the next day or two, you should consider going to the vet and getting a laxitive. Impaction can be very serious and possibly life threatening. Don't feed him again until he poops. Continue the warm soaks (water temp of 78-79 degrees) and gently massaging his side where the bump is, starting from the shoulder and gently working back towards the vent. Keep us posted. Hopefully he will go very soon!
