Dont arugula contain a lot of water? If it can be given daily, how much arugula should she get in her salad bowl?

Dont rinse your greens before serving and add some raw shredded sweet potato to see if it will firm the poop up -- no more green pepper stick w/ the greens and sweet potato -- your greens are going to have some moisture and if the poop is real runny dont rinse them and see what it does -

Hello,

I agree, sometimes rinsing the greens will make them too watery. Most of what you buy the greens
should be prewashed & or rinsed.

I will try stop rinsing the greens and see what happens. She just pooped and it was huge, very smelly, watery, and kinda brown-green-ish. Though she has diarrhea, she moves around, eats well, and goes up in weight so that's good at least!

Im having a hard time finding those, but im offering her plenty of other greens

Where are you located?

Also could you post a pic of your dragon and maybe the poop the next time?
How old is Lizzy and how are her temps?

I live in Sweden, I've looked in many stores but none have mustard greens or collard greens. We actually do not know exactly how old she is, but we know for sure she is around 7-9 months now. Her basking spot surface temp is 97-103 F and the cold side is 75 - 80 F.
I could not get a picture of her poop this time but will post it when she poops. Here are some pictures i took of her from this morning.

 

[Borje]

This is how her poop has been since March this year. Sorry for the late response, forgot to take a picture last time

Are you offering any greens like mustard turnip kale or collards?

I found turnip greens in a store here. But only the root is there, there are no leaves on it. Can they dragons eat the white-purplish root or is it just the leaves they eat?

I am thinking they can why does the green not have any leaves on it? That is weird!! And yes its normally the leaves --- Argula is a good staple feeder also known as rocket --- what about Bok Choy? can you get that? Make sure your surface basking temps are being taken w/ a digital probe thermometer and your using a good long tube fixture for a UVB - certain bulb need certain placement and distance depending on the screen on your tank --- please go over the lighting for your tank ---- the stuff you listed your feeding is good but please limit the fruits - they are high in sugar

Usually you wanna stick to greens. Here in Germany there are also no sores that sell turnip, dandelion or mustard greens.

Arugula, Kale, Romain Lettuce (no iceberg!), Basil, Mint are all really good to feed.

For UVB, Lizzy has an Arcadia ProT5 Kit 12% UVB. It is inside her tank and not on top as its glass. She has a wooden log that she gets up on where her UVB is and it also covers a bit of her basking area. The UVB is 10-11 inches above the surface. Her basking spot is 95-100 F and it's taken by an IR gun. Im gonna buy a digital probe thermometer soon aswell.

The only greens I cant get are mustard greens, turnip greens, and collard greens.
