Bearded dragon pooping a lot

[Maxie]

My female adult beardy has been pooping a small amount every day for the past week, is this normal? Her diet is crickets and lettuce, although she prefers crickets and probably eats them more often then an adult beardy should. Should I take her to the vet or try getting her to eat more greens?

Hello,

What type of lettuce/greens are you giving her?
How much food intake does she get, how many insects? As an adult, she probably doesn't
need more than about 40-50 per week, along with a variety of greens, per week.
Has she ever laid infertile eggs?
Is she excreting more urates than normal?

She eats collard greens, but sometimes I forget to get some from the store and have to resort to iceberg lettuce, which is rare. She's never laid an egg, and she's produced only one urate in the last week. She eats around 20-30 crickets each feeding time and I feed her every other day, the crickets I buy from the pet store are large but they're more medium to small sized

Hello,

Do you have a picture of her & your tank setup?
What type/brand of UVB Light are you using for her?
Since she is an adult, she really wont need much more than 40-50 insects weekly, but along
with greens, veggies etc for balance.
She still needs calcium at least 3 times per week, also. If she isn't excreting much in the way
of urates, it sounds like she could be dehydrated. Try getting a plastic dropper & dripping
water or a mix of water & flavored pedialyte onto her nose to see if you can get some fluids
into her.
