my beardie has some pretty stinky poop...but its always been that way and ive have him for over a year and hes been in excelent health! is there something wrong?
I used to have tile for my bottom, too, but now my bottom is sandy. (I don't sleep enough either.) I have a scoop made out of metal screenwire I got at the pet shop.
What to do with the doo? Double kleenex and down the toilet. It grosses me out if they poop in the bathtub so I'm glad they usually go first thing in the morning. Yes I am stunned at the size of it, and the aroma. Kind of wakes me up, like coffee, only icky.
My dragons themselves have no odor. I would know because they like to get right up under my chin. Like cuddling a pineapple.
Unless they are an odd couple, in a few months Ethel is likely to get mighty worn out from Fred paying her too much attention all the time, and all those little Fredethelets will need a lot of poop scooping.
Thanks for all of the replies. Fred and Ethel continue to live together and pretty much get along fine. We believe they are brother and sister, although they do act like husband and wife. The poop just gets bigger and bigger.
If you know about the time of day that your beardie poops , try giving them a warm bath for a while, we trained our dragon to poop in his bath, he will actually hold it intill he gets his bath. But i have him on set times for everything. Wake up time , bath time, food time. For me it works Cause cleaning out a viv with poo is eewwww!
I've said this once, but seems like you missed it. Once they mature there's a high chance they will mate. Again, this would be inbreeding! Why wouldn't you seperate for this reason only?
We heard ya, we just don't post evereything they do here, or we do, here.
We purchased a 55 gallon tank, a 2nd tank, this past weekend and now have two tanks, one beardie each. They are miserble too; pouting, not eating as much, sad and just plain miserble. They are really going to miss their bath time together.
We still might let them play int he floor together, they love to play chase. AND they might do the bump too, but we won;t allow the eggs to incubate or hatch. TWO is one too many now. :roll:
My guy likes to poop while he's basking so I just keep a piece of paper towel under his basking spot. When he poops I just move him, grab the cave, dispose of paper towel. New sheet down and good to go. It only sucks when he gets it on the glass lol.
