Help! My bearded dragon, Xena, is about 8 mos old. I got her from the pet store that I worked at and have known her habits, behavior, and cycles since she was about 3 months old. Today I came back and she had a poop that was very solid but the part that is usually brown was a salmon color. Her urate looks normal and her behavior hasn’t changed at all. Her last normal poop was 2 days ago. I planned to monitor her next poop but I’m very nervous and was wondering if anyone knew what could be the problem. I personally don’t think it is parasites but I could be wrong!
Here’s some extra info:
She is in a 20L tank right now, but I have a 40G tank that put her in for feedings to get her used to the space. She has a reptile carpet liner with some hides and trees and things to climb on. She currently has a 13W 10.0 UVB bulb and a 100W basking bulb that typically reaches 105-113°. She just completed a beautiful shed. She typically eats Dubai roaches but the past week she has been eating crickets. Everything that goes into her body is dusted with calcium + D3. She hasn’t grown to like greens yet but I still try to feed her some collard greens that she will occasionally nibble on and she isn't keen to any fruits or vegetables yet.
The only thing that has changed was the addition of crickets, but she had previously been on a cricket diet before coming home with me. I have had her about a month with no problems of any kind.
