My beardies eating and behaviour

21 10:35:40

Question
Hi. My beardie is usually happy to eat locusts and as soon as I put them in her viv, she will eat them straight away, until now.  I put a couple in, but she is not interested at all. She us very lively though and is constantly jumping at the glass front in her viv. Also she has not ad a poop for about 2 weeks. Her substate is bark chippings, which she has always had. She us 1 year old now and is approx 19 inches. Do you think there is anything wrong with her?

Answer
Hello, you need to get rid of the bark chips because that is probably what cause the problem. She cannot digest those and has most likely eaten one or two and has became sick. If she has not pooped for this long means that she is having digestive problems. Go bring her to your vet right away.
