Loose Stool, Diet Change

[Roberts926]

Hello all! I’ve recently (last 4 months) changed my beardies diet to mainly veggies instead of BSFL. His stool has been extremely watery since the change. At first I figured it was because of the diet change but it’s still going on. He’s getting mainly romaine, kale, carrots, cucumber, zucchini. Not always all of that, but a mix of some of those items. Can someone tell me what the problem is? He seems healthy otherwise. Thank you!

Too many veggies w/ high water - cucumbers carrots- try feeding some raw shredded sweet potato see if that firms it up

Hello,

Are you giving much protein? They should eat a good amount of vegetation but as mentioned, too
much vegetation higher in water content will definitely contribute to a looser stool like that.
He still needs protein/insects so try to balance it out a bit more.
