another "trick" is to leave the pulp for a few hours in cool water. the juice will mix. serve the pulp, but especially also then the "pruned" water. works like a charm on dogs, cats and varanids. may as well try on igs.
just a thought.

: Kendra...since ya say she's eating....GO FOR THE PRUNES!!! I would up the fiber in her diet...alfala/timothy hays cut up small! Reconstituted prunes...nice and warm toss the juice over her salad...extra calcium & fiber ...YUM!! Daily warm baths and while she's soaking run a warm shower (for her not you!:o)....up the temps a tad in her enclosure and keep yer fingers crossed. Maybe she'll poop! She'll stop eating for a few weeks before she lays hopefully. Everything is prolly going to egg production right now...and little ~>elimination..need to keep her calcium supplements up there like everyday...and about 30 days AFTER laying. I would just do dietary & soaks for however long...as long...as she still looks healthy...forget about the MOM...magnesium will throw her calcium off. She needs it (calcium) more than MOM & pooping right now.
