Mango?

[abigailjeanie]

I know fruit should make up th smallest part of a baby beardies diet. I give Watson a different fruit every wednesday, greens everyday, and green beans and/or butternut squash daily. Mango is a regular part of his diet, i give it to him up to three times a week. He loves it, as well as all of his veggies i give him.

He wont poop in his tank, so I was giving a bath this morning. There was a bit of mango in his stool. It has done is before, and the vet said not to worry about it, just decrease the frequency. Is giving him mqngo okay, or should i stop since it is found in his stool?

I would do as the vet said, decrease frequency. The sugars in fruit, in general, mess with their gut flora and can cause some issues there. The other thing you might double check is the temps. Many times undigested food=temps not hot enough.
My preference is to only offer fruit once a week, if that. Even then, it's a small bit on top of staple greens/veggies.

My temperatures are at 105-110 degrees fahrenheit. He is pooping normal again and i am offering sifferent fruits once a week. Thank you fr the advice.

Hey! Great news! Maybe mango just doesn't agree with him.
