Hello All,
I have read all the posts from other poo related mysteries but I'm still at a loss.
I have three beautiful Beardies, 2 Girlies Morticia and Mortessa and 1 Big Bloke Mort, they live in a four foot long by two feet high by two feet deep enclosure, thermostat uv lighting basking lamp e.t.c their day time temp is between 30-33 Degrees. They have a nice Big Bath two of my adults can fit in happily and a bamboo shoot with multiple branches on which to bask and climb, they are kept on a sand/woodchip substrate and fed locusts supplimented with neutrobal 2-3 times a week, the other days they are fed fresh greens.
My boy is great but the two girlies just neer seem to do as well. I have had them (the girls arrived a year after Mort) for a year now, they have had two fecal checks and been wormed at approx 5 month intervals. They were last wormed end of November with panacur but one of my females throughout the whole time we have had her has had runny pungent stools, I know they're now due another check but no prev sample has shown more than a case of worms which we have always sorted. But like I said STILL stinky barely formed poo which to compound matters she likes to sit in. I love my girls but Ive tried changing diet, they used to reguarly have boiled veg or cucumber in their salad I removed this as soon as a good friend suggested it may be to wet a diet for her, and swapped to spring greens due to the fibre content . . no luck. and I always make sure they ave clea water and a thoroughly washed bowl everyother day, I'm at the end of my tether after a year of the realy bad messes, constant cleaning just to make her safe to handle, and worry that despite fecal checks I'm missing something to the point I'm thinking about giving her and her sister up, I know it might sound uncaring but i don't knowwhat else to try.
Anyone been in a similar situation or have any ideas???
Please help
