What is the basking spot temp set at? Maybe there isn't enough heat for him to properly digest, regardless of how long it'd been since he'd eaten til lights out.
Were the horns properly digested??

Well the horn worms were cut in half lol I'm strange I know it was too big I feared so I cut it!! Bask temp is 108 but he usually hangs in the 103 area

I know that humans have bacteria in the gut that helps in the digestion process. Perhaps the treatment for parasites is causing the good bacteria in his gut to become less efficient or killing them off altogether. I have heard of people putting their beardies on probiotics or plain yogurt to get the good bacteria back in (similar to how humans would eat yogurt after a round of antibiotics).

Thanks great idea that's why I give him acidophiliz ordered from beautiful dragons!! Thanks though :study:

I take it that your dragon is a larger juvie or adult ? If that's the case he is evidently not chewing them at all, and they are not sitting in his digestive tract lomg enough to be killed by stomach acids. I've read that on another post as well, someone had the same experience. It seems that they are too small for some larger dragons to get much benefit from because they don't bother chewing them and they are just " passing through" their systems.

He's about 5-6 months old
