Leopard gecko with stuck debris in her butt
So my daughter's leopard gecko has stuck junk in her trunk. She has been pooping fine, but there is a piece of hard poo that won't come out. I don't think it is impaction. My daughter has been trying to remove it carefully with tweezers and a wet cotton swab, but it is as hard as a rock. The droppings are also very stuck inside and are hard to remove or even pull out.
Things used in her enclosure:

Coconut fiber
10 gallon tank
Fake plants
Plastic water bowl
Wood branch
Plastic realistic hide

Should I stop using any of these items? Does this happen often? Do I need medical help or can I do it myself? What is the cause? She eats only mealworms, some crickets, and they are dusted with calcium and vitamins. Otherwise, she is in great health. Please help, I am worried! Thank you.
