Welcome TeguManiac icon_wink.gif - Not to sound as an ass here, however in your 1st post "A few days ago", basically was the concern of your Tegu not eating after an impaction removed ? - And you even questioned the possibility of force feeding.

3 days later, you are now going to the other extreme in your second post, and seeking remedies to now make him shit ?

It's quite obvious something is going on with your Tegu, but before you come and ask questions and advice that are "On different sides of the page", You should let us know exactly what has, and is going on with your Tegu.

Random questions from one extreme to the other, will yield results and remedies with good intentions, however even the correct answer may be the wrong solution to the problem.

Tell us more with what is going on with the Tegu as there are many people here would like to share and help - But what disturbs me is going from one extreme to the other in your questions.

You even spoke of the impaction putting pressure on the spine, which can cause problems in another direction - We would like to help, however we need to know more of the story and why the extremes - No-one wants to give bad advice here icon_wink.gif

Agreed. It's probably a problem with your husbandry, not the foods he is eating. Tell us about temps, humidity, diet, etc you have and see if we can see an obvious problem b/f feeding him laxatives or something.
