Droppings

My beardie has been on mainly crickets dusted with calcium morning and night, wouldnt touch lettuce unless i hand fed it to him and even then only would eat a little bit of it. so i changed the diet to a bowl of veggies in the morning and crickets at night and lately hes been eating the veggies. Also i have started feeding him baby food... he likes it i feed him butternut squash, green beans, and mixed veggies of carrots, green beans and peas. Just today i noticed after he went to the bathroom it has this green tint to it..... is this normal?? or is there something wrong with him??? or is this because his diet has changed? and is it okay to feed him the baby food? please help! thanks

its most likely due to what you are feeding him. If he is eating more greens and veggies than feeder insects then the feces will look green. One thing I will suggest is that if the lettuce is iceburg lettuce, not to feed him that b/c it can cause diarrhea. Dark greens like mustard, turnip, and collards are best. Baby food is alright as long as you are not overfeeding and the feces becomes runny.

thanks, no romaine. I just was a little worried about it.
