Blue poop

[Seamus1]

So today when I got home I saw that my beardie had poop a blue colored mess. He has been eating Phoenix worms and mealworms as treats. He doesn't prefer greens so I have been not providing a lot. He is not a young beardie maybe 5 or 6 months old. He had been pooping normal looking stools brown with the white urinate but today is different. Any advise and or problems he might be having?

It looks like he may be a little bit dehydrated. I would try providing some warm baths to see if he drinks from it. I'd still also provide a fresh salad daily with some dark greens like collard, turnip, or mustards. He may ignore it but it's good to let him know it's available as a food source and can provide some additional hydration. Don't worry about one odd looking poop but if it continues you'll want to take action.

He is in the middle of shedding so I have been misting him and giving him baths and I'll try and put more greens in the meal

Hello,

I agree, he may be slightly dehydrated so increasing his greens & more frequent baths should help out a lot.
Are you feeding him any beardie pellets of any type? What type of supplementation are you giving him?

So he only pooped blue once (thank god) but he wasn't on any pellets, I have sweet peas in his diet know and he loves them. He doesn't like pellets so I haven't provided any. He is currently eating Phoenix worms and Dubia roaches, the roaches I coat once a weak with repti-multi vitamin. The Phoenix worms I heard don't really need any additives.

Hello,

How is he doing today?
Sometimes the stools can change color, depending on the amount of greens, vitamins, etc taken in. What type of foods & fluids do you feed the insects?
At least he hasn't had another blue stool since then.
You are giving calcium several times a week correct?
