Poop Smells Bad

[Hatchi]

Hello There,
My bearded dragon's poops smell bad and I wanted to know if that is maybe a sign of sickness or something. He seems very healthy so it would not make much sense.

Thanks,
Hatchi

That's a common, or normal stench.

It depends on how bad, some parasites cause it to reek. I always say if your unsure take a sample to the vet and have it checked. Take it within 24 hours of collecting it, don't refrigerate. Don't over pay either, there was a post the other day where the vet was trying to charge someone an extortionate amount of money. The most i ever paid ws 48 bucks. Also under no circumstances allow the vet to do an enema, it can and often times does end in tragedy.

Dear xp29,
Thank you so much for the info! I would have never thought that an enema could do damage! Thanks for letting me now!

Thanks,
