My nine month old dragon has had persistent diarrhea for almost two months now. I've taken him to the reptile vet and had fecals done two separate times, both negative. He is still growing/shedding, he's alert, active and eats voraciously.
He has a large viv with a 14% arcadia t5, basking temp (with gun) of 110, warm is 85ish and cool is 75ish. He's had dubias, BSFls, supers and mealworms. He also actually eats his greens, he prefers turnip and dandelion. I've tried cutting out dubias for a while, did not make a difference. I cut supers out a month ago, still no difference. We're currently testing only BSFL and dubia and still no difference. His poops are huge, with a soft pile of brown, a firm white urate and surrounded by brown water. He often goes only every 3-5 days.
The vet said he looks very healthy and is stumped. He suggested a blood panel and radiographs as next step. My breeder suggested possible overhydration and to stop giving dubia for a while. Did that, no change.
Other ideas? I can post pics if needed. They are not pleasant.
