" Apricot works great for getting the bowls moving and i highly suggest it." Supposed to be bowels....sorry =\
-Mike

Get rid of the coconut husk. If he consumed enough of it while catching crix he could have been impacted. The coconut husk is more suited for hideboxes and for nesting material. Nothing is impaction proof. If an animal eats enough of its substrate it could cause problems. To prevent it bowl feed only in addition to using paper towels or repti carpet as a substrate.

For now feed him baby food only. Apricot works great for getting the bowels moving and i highly suggest it. The vet will mostly likely take an x-ray and determine if he is impacted and how bad. But like i said get rid of the coconut husk first and foremost, no crix, just baby food, until he goes. Good luck.
