Can over feeding Cause impaction?

[Walter H. White]

So fast question here with a bit of back ground.(this is more of me wondering than me worrying) Rosie is a 5month old Leo from a breeder at a reptile show. as I have said in other post I haven't owned a leo this young before so I have a good amount of questions. well I have her on an every other day feeding schedule. we feed her five gutloaded mealworms and a cricket or two if I can find some her size in my tanks ( kind of as a treat for her) Well we have only had her seince Jan 26 so little under a month she has pooped once. and that was after a week of having her. so I have been keeping to the same every other day feeding and No poop for Mabey a week and a half now. I just want to know Because the breeder was only feeding her once a week. have I over feed my gecko into an impaction or am I just being a worry wart. Thanks again all if my cam had battery I would post a pic but the kids lost my rechargeable batterys.

Edit: so I went back and check my records ( yeah I keep a diary of my two leos I am a geek like that) and on the fourteenth I wrote that she hasn't pooped in a bout four days Soo I think mabey I am jumping the Gun on worrying yet But my thing is that she DOSNT realy seem to want to use her hot side to help digest the food. She spend ALOT of time in her humid hide and in her cold side hide. and she feels cool when I pick her up to handle her. IDK just a worried gecko daddie I guess

Depends on what it over fed on. Overfeeding on mealworms would definitely cause impaction for a young one. Sometimes they just constipate but you should watch out for both
