Hello, my bearded dragon has been eating good. For the past couple of day to a few days it has been very big appetite. She eats whenever I change out the greens to fresh greens. She’s been trying to eat a lot of things that I hold too. I think she thinks it will be food because I’ll give her crickets on tweezers. She eats mustard greens, crickets, and butternut squash purée. I also give calcium and multivitamin. She laid eggs 2 weeks ago. Could her increased appetite still be from that. This is how she ate right after she laid them. But, it slowed down a bit after that. I’m wondering if she could be gravid again? I’ve been giving butternut squash because she is finicky with only plain greens. She still is. So, maybe I should give less purée? And her appetite is so big just because she likes the purée a lot. Thank you!

Yes she could be gravid again, it's O.K for her to eat a lot before laying another clutch. It sounds like you're giving her a good diet, if her poo is too runny, cut back on the greens + squash just a little. :)

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
