My leopard gecko hasn't pooped in 5 days. Should I still feed him?

Question

My juvenile leopard gecko hasn't pooped for about 5 days. He still acts hungry. He will eat and mainly likes crickets. He acts normal and active. Should I continue to feed him or what do you recommend.

I would make sure his cage is warm enough and the temperatures are appropriate. You may try giving him a warm water soak for about 10 minutes to encourage him to pass a bowl movement. Try to avoid feeding insects with dense exoskeletons like mealworms as they are harder to digest.
