I think hes constapated????

[tracyanderson777]

I have a 1 month tegu and he hasnt eaten in 3-Days.!!!

its beginning to worry me cause as long as ive had him hes been a strong eater every day he eats a whole bunch and all of a sudden he just ignores his food.

Should i be worried???

how long has it been since hes had a poo

 

[tracyanderson777]

i think 2 days...... but the thing is ive had him 2 weeks nothing has changed in his diet and the last 2 meals he had was just turkey and beef liver.

2 days he may be impacted what subtrate do u have him on

i dealt with that yesterday and i gave my tegu a warm bath for ten minutes and gave her a drop of mineral oil in her mouth and her butt... she crapped shortly after then less then a hr later crapped a whole lot of substrate.... this has been a ongoing problem but im switching substrates as we speak i got her on just news paper but that will change here shortly... call bobby if your really worried but u can try what i did yesterday first

i agree with anthony i had this happen to a leopard gecko an thats is what i did with it an seems to work good
