Firstly i apologise as this is the wrong thread..its Gimli but I do need some assurances.

When Gimli pounced on a cricket he took one or two pieces of wood chip. I have since changed him on to newspaper just hope its not too late.

He always leaves a poo beside or inside his greens bowl, but two days there is nothing. He isn't lethargic, just constipated..Steve says if no change tomorrow, a trip to the vet on Monday.

Has anybody here had this problem?

Aww good stuff, Lizards do normally spit out things they dont want to swallow as they chew things first well a version of chewed anyway.

After spending the night under his bark, I woke him up at 9am and placed his greens. I checked an hour later and to my relief he had pooed lol and eaten half of his water cress :)

You will smell it before you get anywhere near the tank lol mine done it a couple of days ago and it stunk and it was huge, literaly the size of her body. Surprised it didn't knock me out lol, and she stood there looking all smug watching me clean it up

My beardie has eaten wood chip a couple of times never caused a problem. As for the poo or lack of it lol as beardies grow they do go less often and just have bigger ones so my guess would be you will look in the tank in a couple of days and find a poo that looks like it could never of come from the baby beardie lol and an anorexic looking dragon

I don't know Rob, I saw him spit a piece out, there was no choking nor any signs..just constipation.

Did he definitely swallow the wood chip?
