Loose stool hit or miss?

[TheBeard9789]

Hey guys my Amber has been having loose stool so I cut out the butternut squash I was wondering if I should withhold greens for a few days.

She loves her greens and will eat it throughout the day (2 times a day) she is in full mating mode now with the bobbing and waving with both arms (no males around). I'm not sure if I should be alarmed or not over the loose stool she will poop once and it'll be big then another day it'll be small and twice a day.

No keep feeding her the greens - could be hormones causing the runny stools- did you try some raw shredded sweet potato?

I haven't no I been giving both beardies greens with butternut squash they love the squash. But I just fed them again and gave them sweet potato though I heard sweet potato was ok a few times a month.

It could be hormones Amber is very submissive and waves and bobs which she hasn't done much since she had her eggs.

Hello,

I do think the hormonal levels could definitely throw the body off. How much sweet potato do you
give? I wouldn't stop giving the greens. Do you add water onto the greens at all?

I shave butternut squash and sweet potato with a potato peeler and then cut them and place them on the top and/or mix it into their salads. I found they respond better to shavings than if I cut them into cube form. I also chop the greens/veggies and rinse them under warm water then squeeze the water as much as possible.

It's may sound weird but I have noticed my 2 beardies have gas especially my Amber (the beardie this post is about). Though I was told that is something normal so I haven't given it much thought though I am curious what's causing it.

Does she have gas when pooping or just passing gas?

Nope just pooping though it's 50/50 if I give her a warm bath and she poops it's the only time you notice it really.

There has been times when she has had loose stool and she poops and gets gassy. I feel bad because it seems like whenever she has a clutch she always has this loose stool that comes and goes.

You wouldn't believe how horrified and worried I was when it first started happening

@KarrieRee this is her latest stool both in her enclosure and during her bath both beardies have been without bugs for about 5 days so I gave them bugs today

Am I seeing undigested bugs? And this is from two different dragons?

Both pics are of Amber literally minutes apart from each other and it could be undigested bugs I'm not sure like I said neither beardie had bugs in 5 days just greens/veggies.

This is Amber she is shedding hardcore right now
