Dragon hasnt pooped for nearly a month

[Belinda]

Hi. I have an adult Bearded dragon ( 21 inch) that I recently recieved from a friend. I've had him for a few months now. He hasnt pooped in about 3-4 weeks. He is the first reptile i've owned so I was just wondering if that is normal???

how hot is the enclosure because if it is to cold they might not digest it or it will take a long time to digest.

I'd be seriously concerned about gut impaction and get him to a vet as quickly as possible. :?

No it is not normal, there should be poops everywhere in that amount of time. I agree with Maggie here, sounds like a case of impaction.

Oh....Ok, so what should I do? Is there anything I can do without going to the vet?

My male has just come out after 12 days of brumation and he hasn't pooed for close to 3 weeks, but no foods gone in the pointy end either.
Is yours still active and eating well?

Hibernation

Umm....Yea he is. He runs around whenever I let him out to play, and he eats like a pig. Do you think he is preparing himself for hibernation? I think thats the answer because I got him from a friend who kept them in an terranium thingo, so he was pretty much in the wild except for finding food.......Do you think thats it?
