This is nothin to mess around with....Perhaps the mineral oil will help...but if it is impaction or blockage...more than likely the mineral oil only slides around the impaction and very little if anything is poopied out! Did your vet do an X-ray?
Did your vet talk about simple enemas to dissolve the impaction? That is usually the course of action. I'd post over to the Cyclura forum...for more info on em...its doubtful crix are to blame...perhaps substrate ingestion? I'd get a turkey baster 1/4 full with a warm puree of reconstituted prunes and feed that as well. Don't know...it may just be constipation but without an Xray...its too hard to tell.
