light pink urate and like white fim on its poop.

[Leo's mom]

My 3 or 4 month old bearded dragons poop had a light pink urate and something like a white coating on its poop yesterday. Today again he had a little light pink in his urate.

Can you post a picture of it?

Typically, a pinkish color in the urate is going to be caused by over supplementation.

Can you go over how often you are dusting with calcium and/or a multi vitamin?
What do your insects eat?

We dust crickets and roaches every time we feed him.

We dust crickets and roaches every day and I usually put some on his salads too.

His poop did look better today did not have the white film but still had a little pink in his urate.

Most likely your problem. A growing dragon needs calcium dusting 5x a week, not 5 days a week, or every day. 5x a week means 5 feedings per week. So if you feed your dragon insects twice a day, only one of those feedings gets dusted, and that counts towards your 5 for the week.

Ok also the pet store suggested I do organic spring mix as a staple is that good for dragon to help as well

Spring mix is going to vary based on the season you are in and the location. A couple good staple greens would be collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and bok choy. You can throw in other salad items too, but i'd base your salads around those greens.
