I fed my beardie horn worms for the first time 2 days ago. He ate them without a problem but he started acting a little strange and has been a little lethargic since , he hadn't pooped since I fed him the hornworms which did worry me because he usually poops every day but today he finally pooped. I could tell he was having difficulties pooping but he did end up getting it out but when I was going to clean it out I noticed the urate was slightly tainted pink and there are red patches on his poop.From what I can observe hes acting normal now but im still concerned. I am not sure if hornworms turn their poop red or what is going on. I'm still very new at taking care of bearded dragons , please help ! I dont want anything to happen to him
Hornworms should turn the stool red, no. What else have you been feeding your dragon &
what are you feeding the hornworms?
How large is your dragon & how big were the hornworms?
They do get pretty big & maybe they were just a bit hard for him to pass.
You could try to get some extra oral fluids into him to help with hydration.
Let us know how he is doing.
