Hello, so my beardie has been having some troublesome poos for the past few weeks. He is about 3 years old and around 18 in (growth was stunted from inadequate housing as a baby), gets a mix of collard greens, kale, butternut squash, prickly pear, raspberries (as a treat), green beans, dandelion greens, and endive daily with some earthworms about once a week (I buy them live, I do not go in my backyard for them). He also has crickets every other day, and I dust everything in calcium. His diet has changed quite a lot in the past few months; before he was eating a lot of lettuce and far too much fruit. He was on sand for awhile before I realized how bad it was for him, and has been on newspaper for about a month and a half now. Ever since I put him on the newspaper, he's been having some very bad poos. They are watery, and about twice the urate was a bit bloody/rusty in color. Last week, one of the poos looked like it was made of sesame seeds and was rather red and today it looked orangey! He is very active and alert, and had a vet appointment the day after I switched the substrate and the vet said he was very healthy. Could he have parasites, or is it something else? I can't schedule a vet appointment until next week and I've been monitoring him
