Question
We fed our beardie too many super worms and now it's stomach is distended and has not pooped for 15 hours.  We gave it a warm bath and are trying to have it drink water and eat leafy greens.  What else can we do besides wait.  It did not perch on it's log last night to sleep like everyother night and has not gone up at all today.  It just sits on the sand.

Answer
Hello Kim,

Keep giving warm bathes, and help him with drinking water.

You may want to feed him a drop of mineral oil. Just a drop and it will help ease the food through.

I also suggest that you remove the sand and switch to a nonparticulate substrate such as papertowels, or reptile carpet. To prevent impaction.
