My beardie is probably about 5-6 months old. I got her in july I believe. She's always been quite small but we have had some trouble with her. I took her into the vet this past friday and they said she had some calcium deficiency (which was strange because we fed her the same way we fed my other beardie and he is perfectly fine) She's never been a huge eater like my other beardie. But I got some liquid calcium from petsmart to help increase her calcium intake and I was putting one drop on her nose until she drank it per day, plus her normal dusting the roaches. I've tried crickets instead since they're easier to gut load but she's not interested in them anymore.
Her poop today was very abnormal. Very watery, which I assume may be from having a bath yesterday but it wasn't a dark color like it normally is, it had the normal urate but then the poop itself was very light colored like a sand, tan color... could this just be from excess calcium?

It usually reflects what they eat. The watery poop is likely from excess water intake which is OK. If it was abnormally smelly or if it continues to be watery I'd have a sample checked for parasites (did you have this done during your vet visit?). Be careful with the calcium. The liquid stuff is absorbed more easily so I'd be cautious about not offering too much. What are you using for UVB lighting and what are the temperatures in your enclosure? Proper UVB exposure and temperatures also play a large part in digestion and calcium absorption.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
