My beardie has had soft/mushy poops for the last week. He hasn’t been going more than he used to, but it has definitely gotten softer. The stool itself looks like a normal color, and the urates seem like a normal color too, not tinged orange or yellow. He has plenty of excess water surrounding it. It doesn’t smell worse than usual, either. Its not really diarrhea, but it has gotten softer. Nothing has changed about his surroundings or diet, which is what confuses me. He doesnt seem to be stressed. He’s still very active and eats. He looks very healthy, and he isn’t showing any signs of discomfort or stress. I’ll definitely keep an eye on him and make sure nothing changes about his behavior. I’ll give him electrolyte/water baths to help make sure he’s keeping hydrated if he continues to have this, but these may just be random, soft poops. Any help is appreciated!
