Bsfl/irregular bm

[Remysbiggestfan]

He used to poop daily but now not so much. Could it be that I've introduced more Bsfl into the diet or is it just a part of getting older?

Hello,

How old is your dragon?
They will often go less often as adults, yes. Sometimes introducing different types of foods
or giving more than normal will cause their stool frequency to change.
Does he eat any greens or veggies right now? That can give him more fiber & water intake
if he gets blocked up some.

I only give BSFL and pupae and flies to my rescue (Fluffy the Water Skink) and she's pooing very reqularly, but I do mix in some mealworm lavae or pupae , or some superworm meat too.

I would hypothesis that perhaps a few issues are coming into play for your dragon,
>> it's maturing and it's metabolic rate is becoming slower
>> temperatures may be an issue (impacts on metabolic rate)
>> no "roughage" in BSFL (very soft exoskeletons c/- crickets)

I suggest checking the daytime zone temperatures, and night-time temperatures.
Introducing some crickets / roaches / locusts into the diet.
