ok last year both of my beardies would eat a whole bowl of greens daily, and they had a bowel movement daily or every other day - never missed
after they brumated this winter and i moved into a new house, they have both been acting differently.....they dont eat as many greens as they used to, and i switched them off crickets to roaches and supers (they arent getting as many live feeders as they used to since my colony isnt fully established yet)....i provide plenty of greens, but less live feeders
now they eat their greens every 2-3 days, and only get like 10 roaches per week and maybe 10 supers......they only poop by themselves every 2 weeks, but will go sooner if i force them (put them in a bath and fill it up so they have to swim)
both seem in great health, get around just fine, not lethargic, legs all work fine......perfectly happy and healthy dragons
just wondering why they arent eating their greens as much, and why they went from daily bowel movements to every couple week bowel movements
theyre both in 4x2x20" cages, 100-105 basking spot, low 90s hot, and low 80s cool side.....full size house vent on each side of enclosure
the thing is, theyre not losing weight or anything, even though theyre not eating as much....heck, my older one's belly is almost touching the ground....dont have a scale, but last time i had her weighed she was 500g and shes about 18"
