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?

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

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
