Hello,
My 5 month old bearded dragon started having diarrhea when I fed her mealworms for a week in her salad. I didn't know that they are for treat purposes only and fed them to her everyday. She went from to pooping everyday to every other now and now that I stopped feeding them to her, it's becoming a little more solid than before. I've been giving her baths to help with pooping. She hasn't acted any differently and is eating regularly. Should I get a fecal done just to make sure or should I wait and see if it will become more solid? Also my other beardie is on the Powersun light (I just read the discussions in the forum) and I wanted to make sure if these were the correct symptoms of the light being bad:
she does closes her eyes but not for long periods of time and she used to hide during the day from it (when I first got her I thought it was because she wasn't used to her new home) now she doesn't hide until it's bedtime... I'm going to buy another brand tomorrow but I wanted to make sure that this is what the light causes and should I stay away from the UV for a week as well? Any feedback would be great! Thanks!
