It is possible she is impacted ... massage her belly, neck to vent. Maybe that will help her go.

My only other advive is to get her to the vet.

When she walks straight her spine won't straighten to the center of her back and the vets say to just soak in warm water for 30 MIN a day and to deworm her

Soak her & massage her belly. Also try getting her to eat a little bit of apple, it is a natural laxative.

Hope your uromastyx is ok. I would not use vitasand, that could have lead to the impaction (if that's what it was) because it can bind up in the gut. Your diet is also high in goitrogens - kale, sweet potato, mustard greens - which can cause hypothyroidism and lead to health problems. Try adding more greens like endive, beet greens, spring mix, edible flowers and use more squash than sweet potato.

I have never been able to get her to eat anything else. Any ideas on how I can get her to eat healthier?

Cut everything very small & mix it in with what she does like, slowly using less of her favorites each week.

How is she doing?
