Well if he is getting to big for his enclosure that might be the reason he is jumping around that could be his way of saying "I need more space" if fed inside the enclosure it could be possible a little impaction is going on, what I would recommend is raising the basking spot or lowering the bulb whichever is easier, also try giving him a soak in lukewarn water see if that helps, if no gu-poo comes out in the next couple das a vet visit might be in order, also sometimes I don't get to feed mine when they want me too so they throw substrate everywhere and their poo gets buried at times
