Beardy has diarrhea, should I give him Acidophiliz+???

[maco]

Ive noticed that my beardy hasnt pooped lately, but hes eating normal. today he ate his silkworms, and then I bathed him, after his bath I noticed he had pooped and it was very watery and lose. I was wondering if I cana give him Acidophiliz+ to help him out. If not what else can I give him to help him out? He gets his mixed greens (collard greens and some squash, and mustard greens) in the morning, and silkworms at night. temps normal.

Giving him acidophiliz+ will not stop the loose stools as long as you are feeding your beardie silkies. Silkies has no chitin so diarrhea is very common. I recommend feeding a feeder with chitin with silkies so the poop is not so runny.

Silkies can promote diarrhea. Cut back on the amount. Also, you should probably take him to a good reptile vet for a wellness exam. Make sure he doesn't have parasites in his feces.

Good Luck

I agree with all that was said above but wanted to add that Acidophiliz+ wouldn't hurt either!
