Ok - thank you!!All poo is stinky but the claim is that if it's a very horrible smell there may be parasites.
hi- i was looking in Health to ask about Lettys poop aswell there is a little tint on the end of the white part- it wasn’t runny- but it does stink i mean man for such a little thing she can sure stink up my room- RN i could smell her poop from outside of the tank. is tht normal?2 B tht stinkie- i get its poop but omgosh its pretty loudYes, it looks typical of a well hydrated beardie. All those veggies keep thing moving, lol.
I agree - I can smell Ember’s poop when I walk past the room her tank is in. No idea if this is normal or if it’s related to what she eats. It’s so hard to know what is “normal” and what should be a cause for concern.hi- i was looking in Health to ask about Lettys poop aswell there is a little tint on the end of the white part- it wasn’t runny- but it does stink i mean man for such a little thing she can sure stink up my room- RN i could smell her poop from outside of the tank. is tht normal?2 B tht stinkie- i get its poop but omgosh its pretty loudView attachment 74286
Their poop will have a smell of coarse but it you can smell it out of the room its pretty potent -- a fecal sample taken into the vet would be a good ideaI agree - I can smell Ember’s poop when I walk past the room her tank is in.

Ok - thank you for your advice! If she does have parasites, is it straight forward to give them medication, or do I need to be worried about complications?Their poop will have a smell of coarse but it you can smell it out of the room its pretty potent -- a fecal sample taken into the vet would be a good idea
Get copies of anything done- like blood work x rays - no enemasOk - thank you for your advice! If she does have parasites, is it straight forward to give them medication, or do I need to be worried about complications?
Also, the vet told me that they wouldn’t do a fecal test without first checking her out (since we haven’t been to this vet yet). Is there anything I should / shouldn’t allow them to do to her? I feel like I’ve read some horror stories on here. I will definitely bring a fecal sample with me and not have them extract it from her. Anything else?
Make sure your using a good disinfectant -- F 10 is really good its a vet disinfectant and can be found on Ebay or Amazon- its concentrate so it will last a long time --- - use only one or two basking pieces ones you can easily wash and disinfect if she poops on them -- no loose substrate -- that way you know your getting it all out of the tank --- otherwise she will re infect againHi! I thought I would follow up - her fecal showed coccidia, so they gave me ponazuril to give to her. Her poop has been stinking less, although she had a couple stinky ones still. It’s also continued to be pretty moist around the poop. Anyhow, today, I took another fecal sample in to make sure the coccidia was gone, and they found flagellates. They gave me metronidazole for her. I just gave her the first dose of that and will have to go back again in a few weeks to check again. It seems weird to me that they didn’t diagnose both from the first test, but I have never done this before.I’m hoping this knocks it out. I have been very carefully cleaning her tank and her poop areas.
Totally normal for most new beardie owners. You did the responsible thing by asking questions. This forum is full of knowledgeable and experienced owners.Ok - thank you!!
