Okay, my beardie had a poop yesterday that looked pretty weird. There was some red in his urate, and the poop wasn't runny or loose, but it seems like there was water that came out too, because the paper towel had a yellow-ish spread stain around the poo.
Also, I came home today to find that he (or perhaps she?) had dug through the paper towels underneath a log. The only similar thing he has been doing lately is getting under his basking hammock, under the paper towels.
He gets 40-50 crickets a day (one feeding) 3-5 baths a week, mustard or collard greens 3-4 times a week. I tested the temperatures recently and they were all correct. Also, his UVB bulb (Reptisun 10) is a little over 6 months old, and I need to order another one. Does anyone have that link to the 20 some dollar one??
For reference, Pip is about 9 months old (never can be sure, got him at Petco) and has a history of parasites.
OH and, the last time there was red in the urate it was when I dusted his crickets. I stopped doing that (for about 1-2 months, seriously) and it was fine. I knew that I needed to get the calcium in him, so I tried dusting his crickets again, and... there was more red. Connected?
Thanks for any help. If you need any more info, just let me know.
Edit: Forgot to mention that he hasn't been as excited about eating lately, either.
