beardie's stool

[SteffMathes]

I have had our dragon for three weeks now. She was rehomed with us. Her stool has always been what I thought was well formed. It is in the long sack, with the white urate at the tip. It has always been accompanied by a liquid which causes a circle of slightly yellow moisure on the paper towels. Her urates are usually small but white. Today her urate was much longer and her stool looked a little red in one spot. I use paper towels as her substrate currently, with some sandstone flat rocks. Her diet consists of crickets, greens and vegetables (approved varieties), and occassional fruits as a snack. We give her super worms sometime, and she has had three in the last four days, as her crickets were getting low and a new shipment is coming in tomorrow. She was previously turning away her greens but has recently been eating her fresh salads. She is also currently shedding. Am I wrong to think her stools have been normal? Also I am concerned about the little bit of red and change in the size of the urate. She gets a soak once a week and I have been lightly misting her daily because of the shed. Oh and she has a stool once a day or more, which it's promptly removed and the substrate replaced. I clean her tank once a week with a 1:10 bleach solution and rinse very well. Thank you!

It sounds normal to me. The change in color could be due to something she ate. Change in size from time to time is normal as with any other animal. Keep an eye on it to see if it was a one off thing or if it continues. Based on what you've said I don't see anything to be alarmed about.

Thank you. I will keep watching. She's our first Beardie and has MBD, so I am super cautious with any changes.
