Beardie sometimes only ‘pees’? Is it normal?

I have a juvenile beardie, she’s and estimated 4-5 months old. She is behaving normal and is eating well, and is pooping/peeing daily (sometimes twice), however, sometimes I notice some hours after she goes to the bathroom, she will leave a tiny green pea sized lump of urate. Should I be concerned? It looks normal compared to the urate she produces alongside her poop, other than the fact that it’s dried looking (i assume because it had been sitting and I hadn’t noticed it). I want to note that this only happens like once every 4-5 days if at all.

If they are well hydrated they can do that. If it smells like REALLY bad i would take a sample to the vet for testing for parasites. Don't let them do an enema under any circumstances. They can and most often end in tragedy.

Hello,

Checking in, to see how your dragon is doing.....did you decide to get a fecal done on her?
If they are well hydrated, they will often excrete only urates from time to time.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
