Pooped a Dubia roach out

[funmom]

My beardie pooped an undigested dubia roach out and just wondering if I need to be worried? He eats so fast like he's starving so I didnt know if that was it or if it could be another reason. He is eating fine, one day he looked bloated and I told my son it give him a bath and that's when he pooped the roach out. Could he be dehydrated? Lighting issues? I haven't changed the position of his lights in months.

Wow he must of swallowed him whole. If he is eating that fast, how often are you feeding him? You may have to give him one at a time to control his eating. What are the basking temps at?

Currently its at 90 degrees. We feed him everyday unless my son forgets so sometimes every other day. He always acts like he's starving since the last 4 months I would say. Maybe my son isnt feeding him enough. He is almost 7 I think and about 20" long. He is skinny though.

You should make his basking spot 100F. Is he eating veggies or just dubias? At 7 yrs he should have daily salads and bugs a few times a week.

Greens mainly and we do roaches which we just started about a month ago or crickets. I heard roaches were better. We do bugs about once every 3 days. I was worried maybe his temps werent high enough or something like that. He never lays under his basking side though. Always on the cool side. Rarely do I see him on the hot side. I had a ceramic heat light on top of cage thats on 24 hours.

Sounds like the food is good. Is he using the ceramic heat for his basking spot? He really should have a bright light if not. Unless your house gets down below 65 it's not necessary at night.

I have a ceramic heater AND a bright light, plus the UVB bulb all on the basking side. His cage wasnt getting warm enough so I added the heater on top. I can turn it off at night and save electricity lol. Our house doesnt get that cold at night. If it happens again then maybe i need a stronger UVB bulb which i think Im going to go buy today. IF it doesnt then maybe he just ate to fast.
