Regarding Healthy Poop?

[monsterbeard]

Monster didn't normally like to eat vegetables, in fact he never did eat them until recently, he is 4-5 months old now. Days he eats a lot of vegetables his poop is softer, almost looks slightly runny and looks really fibrous is how i described it lol. Sometimes you can see the carrots and they resemble blood (scary first glance!) why don't the vegetables break down as well? And is it okay he hasn't ate many vegetables in his lifetime? We are trying out all the foods he can eat now that he will try out stuff. How many fruits should he eat per day? in ratio to crickets/veggies, (ie; 80% crickets, 15% vegetable? 5% fruit?) the only fruit he has tried is banana and I'm not sure that he likes it... i took a picture of the vegetable poop now I have to wait for a normal poop and then upload for you guys.. sounds pretty gross, but poop details are kind of essential, right? lol

Have you looked at this list for appropriate greens? http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html. Banana really isn't a great fruit to feed. And carrots should only be fed occasionally, as they are very high in vit A. Make sure you give him 2 hours after eating to digest - that may be the cause of the solid matter passing. Also, how hot is your basking spot?

Basking spot is as it should be, I have the tree positioned so he can kind of choose how hot he wants to be, and he will sit at different levels haha. Yes, he always has at least two hours before bed after he eats. and I have looked over different food guides, thanks for this one.

We have been feeding him the bearded dragon dehydrated veggie mix we got from pet smart, its nice and quick and the veggies dont go bad :/ i guess that was another wrong choice... hexx youuu commercial bearded dragon suppliesssss!
