I got 3 males this weekend that were housed together. I split them all up but they have all been black bearded everyday since I have gotten them. Is this normal? Stress relocation maybe? Also 2 of them has loose stools but I have completely changed there diet from pellets, lettus and crix to dannilions, collard,squash, carrots, some mixed veggies and meal worms. I need to get more wax worms and crixs just out right now. any thoughts?

They probaly jsut have relocation stress it will take a few weeks for them to get use to the new surrounds. Keep an eye on the stolls I can imagine that the change of diet and the relosation stress maybe maing their tummies a little upset. Ya know you get use to eatting a certain type of food all the time and then you change it and it messes with your belly, even if it is a better diet. If the stools smell really foul then you may want to go ahead and take a sample of stools and take them to the vet for testing.

Good luck with your new babies! :D

It prolly just the change in diet and the relocation stress. I am sure in a week or 2 it will be back to normal. Ihave seen alot of differant types of poos in dragons. My dragons poo has always been a little soft and not as well formed as I have seen with other dragons. He is perfectly healthy no parsites or anything like that. One of the main factors of their digestions is (One) how much Calcium they are getting. Calcium acctually helps them to digest their food properly. (Two) Is heat and UV. Judah like to hang out in the cooler zones of his tank, so he digests a little slower and his poo is a little more mushy than say a dragon that liek to bask in hotter zones more offten.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
