Hi! My beardie is about 5 months old. He follows a diet of around 30-50 crickets a day, with all-day access to veggies. Recently, we’ve noticed his poops have become softer and are surrounded by liquid. My mother complains of the smell, but I have been around him for so long That I have probably gotten used to it! It has only been like this in the last for a few days. His stools are usually firm and healthy, as well as his urates. This morning, I woke up to a stool that was still “solid” and not quite diarrhea, but definitely softer than usual. We did introduce him to a couple of veggies last night, both of which having a high moisture content. His poop does not have any undigested food or anything else. It’s a solid color of brown, of course surrounded by what I believe to be excess water. Is he getting too much veggies and not enough crickets? He has always loved his veggies, and I usually have to refill his veggie bowl when I come home. I know you will ask for the enclosure details, so here they are:
10.0 uvb T5 HO TUBE
100W basking bulb (temps get about 100-110, usually about 105 on basking side)
No loose substrate, only a carpet that I clean
40 G tank
He is always active. The only time he sits still is before and after a feeding, so he can bask. He has not lost weight, he currently is a very healthy weight (the “average” for his age). Seems to be very healthy otherwise. The nearest vet is hours away, so we haven’t been able to take a stool sample yet. Wanted to see what you all said first!
Let me know if there is anything else! Thank you!
