I have recently bfought this feller from the pet store and has only eaten 2 mealies(small) and 2 crickets(small) where as the other leo i got 2 months ago was eating 4-5 mealies a day regular size too! Anyways I see the lil guy struggling while trying to use the restroom and he has black buildup inside him. its been 4 days and the only fecal matter would have to be the 2 little white dots of urine that came out while trying to use the restroom.

Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- went and got crickets he is a picky eater, ate 2 meal worms and 2 crickets in the past 4 days
I have had to remove a hide so he has room to get the crickets but either doin that or removing the jumping legs
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using t-rex calcium suppliment
- What are you gut loading food with-- just started with flukers orange chunks but he hasnt eaten any

Its from that second stripe down

My questions after reading around would be what babyfood exactly, And how much oil to add to the babyfood or how do i serve it to him.l I do see the build up getting bigger so I would like to act fast. Please help and thankyou.
Also with him being small how could i give him baths and such he doesnt mind being held too much.

A quick update on this....

The fecal matter is about the size of maybe a match head and the white part well is not white but more yellow. Ive been letting him rest his belly in warm water for 5 mins or so a day and feeding him a little turkey baby food it only contains turkey and water. also a tiny touch of pedialite to his water barely a splash he hasn't eaten a cricket or mealie in a while seems interested for 2-3 seconds and walks away... hes super small and im trying my best to work with the lil dude

One more follow up here...

I believe I may have been a bit too worried. Considering I got him so small, he was under tons of stress and I believe super dehydrated. Just goes to show that if you buy from a big pet store be careful and observant of how they have em set up. Anyways on a good note I got a decent sized poopy:main_laugh:. lol
I believe he has bounced back. He ate like 6 very small crickets. I pulled the legs off but hes so quick it wouldn't stop him. So if anyone was lookin at this he is looking better :main_robin: gonna do the lil belly soak for maybe 1 more week depending on how his flow is lookin.
