Baby beardie- poop or vomit???

Trinityv · Aug 26, 2019

So my baby beardie (2.5 months old) did this today. I don’t know if she pooped or regurgitated bc I didn’t see it happen... but it’s basically just a mass of undigested dubias with a brownish coating! (Pic below) I’m very concerned bc she’s been pooping normally so idk why this happened. She was eating like an insect vacuum up until last week when I went back to school. The stress from the change in my routine seems to be getting to her as she’s definitely not eating as eagerly as she was before and is eating less at once too. Because of this her weight has also stayed the same in the past week

Does anyone know what might cause the undigested bugs and what I can do to keep it from happening again?

Very pretty dragon.

That looks like vomit. Has anything at all changed as far as lighting + temps. ? Was she fed too late or were the dubia a larger size than she's used to ?

Her lighting and temps have been the same as usual. 83ish on the cool side and 97 ambient with a 105 basking site on the warm. Lights are a 160 watt mvb and a reptisun T5HO 10.0 tube. I found the regurgitated food around 7:30 pm and she had eaten hours before that. The dubias were the usual small size she’s been eating since I got her. Is it possible that it’s just stress making her regurgitate? I’m very worried since there’s no other apparent cause

Lighting sounds fine. Those shells look somewhat digested. It could just be a dry poop. Either way I'd offer some water and just keep a close eye on things for the next few days.

She’s had some water and hasn’t done it since... I had a vet appt for next Monday anyway so hopefully they’ll notice if anything’s wrong
