I don't have much to base this off of, so I wanted to know if Moira's poop looks healthy so far? She went through 4 dozen crickets this weekend (6-10 crickets each feeding), crickets were all fed veggies and green cricket food cubes.
We haven't seen her drink any water yet or eat more than 2 of the cut up pieces of mustard greens. Her poop had some liquidy substance to it so I assume she's hydrated for now? Any tips or suggestions?
Also, what is that white thing in/on the poop?

The white is called a urate. It is normal. The poo looks a little soft but that could have numerous reasons stress would be my first guess, especially since she appears to be eating fine. It is good to have liquid as it does show that your beardie is hydrated. If you are concerned about hydration, I would bathe her regularly - I bathe my beardies daily but most say 3 times a week is fine. In addition, make sure you are spraying your beardie with a water bottle a couple times a day. Most beardies don't drink from a bowl but will lick the water off their nose if sprayed or if you drip some on their nose. Watch the consistency of the poo, if it gets any runnier or stays as is for very many days, you may want to have a fecal done by a vet to make sure nothing of concern is going on (take a fresh sample of poo with you to the vet if you go). Best of luck with your new beardie. Make sure you take some time to read the newbie guides and that you are providing all the right light, temps, food, etc. to give your new beardie the best possible care.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
