Green Feces?

[ReptileAddiction]

So my male dragon recently passed extremely green feces. This was on Saturday and hasn't since pooped which is fairly normal for my dragon. He poops a lot for a few days then goes a few days. Anyway, beacause I am sure you will be wondering, his basking temp (surface temp) is between 105 and 112 and the cool side temp is around 84-85. He gets few mainly mixed greens with veggies, some superworms, and I just started feeding Nature Zone Bearded Dragon Bites on Wednesday. On Thursday he passed some with a small amount of green and on Friday he passed some with about 50% green. Could it be because I abruptly introduced the Dragon Bites? He used to get them but I stopped for about a year and he was only getting a small amount every other day starting on Wednesday. He also got dewormed with Panacur Plus (10% Fenbendazone and 20% Metronadazole) for roundworms with a .20 dose. He is getting his second dose tomorrow (Tuesday). Thank you for your help! Here is a picture...

If the dragon bites are the only change in the diet then it's most likely them. Those artificial diets often have dyes in them that cause strange poos.

Would that have an effect on it now though? When I use to feed them this never happened. I forgot to mention that about a day before he got really dark and got a lot of stress marks. Now they are gone. Every once in a while he will do that for a few days but I just always ignored it.

Those bites can definitely do that. Honestly, I've never really understood their value - bugs and greens are so much healthier for them.

I recently started adding those bites to Buddy's greens in the past week or so. I did notice the same GREEN poop lol I got nervous as well and posted about it, from what I gathered we are not alone and most poop turns green after eating those. No one seemed to think it made their beardie sick, but actually eating more, said it was an appetite stimulant.
I only give it to Buddy a couple times a week when I'm in a hurry to add on top of her collards. She won't eat any other pellet or premade food besides those bites.

Thank you very much! Will the green color ever go away? I don't really care but I am curious.

yes, definitely the beardie bites. It's harmless. Just don't mistake it for a piece of chewed gum. That's what it looks like when my beardies poop this color.
