    My male leo is constipated or impacted

    Here is the siutation:
    I have 2 geckos, (one male, one female) in a 20 gallon long, hot end is kept at around 90, cool end is at 75. They are on paper towel, they have access to water and a humid hide. I feed them mostly mealworms and periodically wax worms, and also superworms. It might have been a superworm that I fed the male, but for about 2 weeks my male has been eating less and pooping about once a week. I've been giving him warm baths with water at 90 degrees up to his elbows (but he hates them). He will eat two mealworms every couple of days. I also tried mineral oil for a few days but I wasn't satisfied with results and decided against giving him more incase it could cause problems. I just want to know if anyone else had experience comparable to this and what they did.
