No poop?

My 2 leopard geckos were doing fine, blaze on almost done with his eye med subscription and Topaz climbing on the hides, then about 2 weeks later, I got a new plant for the tank (my first plant for the tank), and some calcium supplement (Fluckers), and 50 waxworms (I usually feed them meal worms, but I felt they needed a little treat). Then, like a week after the changes, there was no new poop. I don't think it's impaction (because they eat, and are very active), but you never know. What do you guys think? How should I clear this blockage? P.S. This happened with both my geckos.
P.P.S, their substrate is ReptiCarpet, and the wood base on my plant is really flaky wood. Could they be eating this and getting impacted? Please, respond ASAP.

Can you post a detailed outline of your care and husbantry please.
Also, 50 waxworms? Wow thats a lot. If you do choose to feed the occasional waxworm I would only recommend one a week. If that.

I don't really feed them waxworms much now, but whatever. Topaz is a active gecko from PETCO, and she is a juvinile (pretty sure), but she is quite effortless when it comes to shedding, (never attempts to shed her legs, I have to help her. today though, she ran out of my hand and fell on my pile of clothes.). She has never had to go to vet. Blaze is a lecustic leo and she is usually a active gecko (can be a bit sluggish at times), and he has had a trip to the vet once, for an eye infection (my first and only vet trip. $200 for eye drops), and heres a weird thing about him. At the right cirner of the 2 hides, there is a hole that he goes out of and stands up on his tail, with his belly leaning on the glass. Blaze is also from PETCO.
