My beardie has had some pretty loose stools for the past few days, and I was just about to go nuts trying to figure out what was wrong when I found MAGGOTS in the crickets' water crystals!! I'm actually pretty sure what kind they are- I've seen these little flea-sized flies hanging around my cricket bins lately, but I still can't be sure that it isn't some type of horrible floridian parasite He's very active and alert, has an enormous appetite, and the poo doesn't smell awful, so if he has picked something up from the crickets it hopefully isn't too advanced yet. What should I do?! I can't take him to the vet- I already took him before for a general checkup and my parents got pretty upset over the 68 dollars it cost (though I used MY money to pay... ) Can I even keep feeding him the crickets?! I've got a colony started, but the babies are still way too small and all my feeders have been contaminated! Is there any OTC product I can use to ward off parasites and strengthen his immune system?
