Mustard Greens = Weird Poop?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I recently got a bearded dragon (about a week ago) and he has been doing perfect. Yesterday, I fed him mustard greens, and this was the first time he had ever had a vegetable (he's two months old, the people who took care of him at the store fed him baby food, which I do on occasion). This morning, I checked on him, and he had pooped in his cage, but it was weird. It was light brown (VERY light), and smelled bad. His 'urine' was normal, though. Is this normal, or should i not feed him mustard greens?

EDIT: I can smell it from outside his cage...it smells kind of like honey...help? :(

When Luther eats mustard greens his poop stinks a little more than usual. Try him on a different green, e.g., escarole, collards (can make poo stink more than usual too) and see if that makes a difference. If still in doubt, a fecal would be a good idea to ease your worries also.

sqash, stay clear of spinage, and kale ony somtimes, had one lady who bought a baby tell me hers love bananas, ans it lived over 12 yr old, variady is spice of life

I stopped feeding him mustard greens and gave him squash, which he likes more. Thanks for the advice everyone, he's back to normal, and I haven't had to deal with any bad poop.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
