Greg, Alice: You may try wetting a Q-tip with Olive Oil or K-y and inserting it a little ways into the rectum (note the word _little_). I've had to perform this procedure on several lizards (at a vets recommendation). Not exactly a pleasant chore, but it was necessary. This should (depending on where the problem is) either disimpact or stimulate a bowel movement. Best of luck, Thomas [Posted in FML issue 0917]
