Nta a bath is very stressful and not really recommended. And i honestly, don't believe it would actually do that much for the little one? What makes you think your leo is constipated if i may ask, as there are better less stressful methods that would probably be more efficient

#

Very nta on that tho as baths aren't something i often help with ❤️

@quick fiber His BMs have been inconsistent and dont seem to be moving adequately
I have been making sure the temp is up and consistent

#

I would consider other methods

Nta have you tried hornworms? Their high and moisture and would be a good way to get some water in him!

Have you been gutloading His feeders?

Nta well, Then i believe a drop of oil on the lil nose can help. I've heard the TAs talk about it before however i do not remember the exact kind.

Is there a specific reason you don't wanna feed a new bug? You don't have to feed them to him permanently, they could be a treat and besides its generally recommended to rotate feeders anyway ❤️ nta

The oil drop to the nose might be the best route then! However if you all lose power and he loses heat regardless it can slow him down even if you get the little one going that includes a bath method.

I would wait for a TA who id familiar with the type of oil used to respond! As like i mentioned i do not remember the exact kind nta ❤️

Mineral oil or olive oil can be used, but I always caution people on using any oil on the nose or squirted in the mouth, as inhaled oil can cause pneumonia
