Bearded dragon pooping runny nonstop

[Mwill]

My bearded dragon is pooping Liquid everywhere in her cage and recently has been doing it nonstop. How do I help her? Do I need to give her to a rescue? I don’t have access to vet.

Please go over the surface basking temps and how your taking them? Analogs are inaccurate - UVB is it a coil and long tube fixture ? What is the diet ? Has the dragon been tested for parasites'?

 

[Mwill]

her basking spot is at 90 degrees f. I use a t5 tube UVB lamp. I feed her primarily superworms and flukers buffet blend, but sometimes feed her blueberries. She hasnt been checked for parasites.

The temp might not be accurate since i use a dial thermometer

Yep you need a digital probe thermometer- please put her on a staple insects- dubia roaches or crickets or bsfl or silk worms - please start feeding fresh salads every day - I can post a website for you in the morning - you want surface basking temps 95-100 taken w/ the probe - what kind of uvb

 

[Mwill]

the uvb bulb i have is an arcadia t5 22 in 14%, and i use a sun blaster

Ok what is the distance of the uvb and is it unobstructed?

 

[Mwill]

12 in unobstructed but might be a bit closer

It needs to be 17-18 inches - that is a very strong bulb - you have distance set for a 12% bulb

May want to bring that temp up. Get a probe thermometer and a heat gun. Maybe feed something like silkworms, dubias, and/or bsfl. Get her checked for parasites. Only feed blueberries once or twice a month. What are you putting in the salad? Don’t feed any squash or fruit right now. Just feed greens. Get her checked out at a vet as soon as possible

ignore the kale info its a great staple - the info is outdated on the website

I started feeding her kale and crickets. Her poop is more solid, and she no longer has a black beard.

Did you readjust distance on the uvb

 

[Mwill]

I’d have to place it over the grate. I think I might just get a weaker bulb.

please try and look for a Reptisun 10.0 T5 or a Arcadia 12% bulb --- I was looking yesterday and everywhere I looked they were sold out --
