My bearded dragon seems to hold his poo in/ or has a blockage stopping him from pooing? He's fed 10 locusts every other day, given one or two morios every so often and is given 15 crickets instead of locusts every now and again to change up his diet, he also gets a fresh bowl of rocket lettuce, mustard cress, dandelion leaves and flowers, and parsley daily.
His humidity is around 30-40%, temps are around 110-115F on the hot end an drop to around 80-85F on the cool end, he is housed in a 4x2x2 viv with sand substrate but is fed outside of the viv, and his UVB has only recently been changed after six months, he is aroun 12 months old and around 16inches weights around 340g, and doesnt look overweight. Sorry to moider but I thought i'd get all the basic information out of the way so I can get a better answer
put him in the bath for about 15mins in luke warm water, it will help him go toilet. My beardie is a pain as he wont poop in his viv but will happily when he is in shower/bath.

Yep. Same as ours. Will not do anything unless she is under the shower. We now shower her every three or four days and she always holds off until then. She has had the odd little accident in her viv when she has been under the weather (having a major shed) but 99.99% of the time she will only go in the bath.
I think some beardies just get into a routine and stick to it. There is nothing unhealthy about it. As long as it does not go too long between doing their business, I would not worry about it. If he does it in the bath/shower, so what. Just make sure you bath him twice a week. Look on the bright side, at least you haven't got to clean his viv of poo every day.
