I bought a cup of baby horn worms for my beardie. They grew rapidly and I tried to feed em all before they got too big for her to eat (she's a 10-11 inch juve). So, I fed her mostly hornworms for like 4 days. Her poop turned into diarrhea and now it's getting better. She poops 2-3 times a day and she's having a mild semi-liquidy poop 1 out of the 3 times a day. Is there anything I can do about this? :/

Hello,

Usually, the addition of hornworms or silkworms into their diet, can cause a more loose stool most of the time.
Try feeding a little less & introduce them more slowly to see if she adjusts a little better. At least you know she is well hydrated.
How is she doing otherwise?

Took her to the vet today for a check up n fecal testing. She has Cocciddia :/ I gotta give her meds for 10 days. Any suggestions on handling this situation?

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
