Runny Poop + Smell

[KrazyPersonal]

My 8 month old Female who I bought from my work (Petsmart), Pazuzu has been having weird poops off and on the past couple months. depending on what she has been eating, her main food is Mustard/collard greens and Crickets her poop has been mushy but solid?
But today it is straight up runny with some mushy bits. I tried to look up what it could be and everything it pointing to parasites. Google scared me and now I'm coming here asking to what it could be or what I should do.

Also it just dawned on me as I was typing this, that her poops haven't been normal since May when I got her.

We took our young beardie to the vet for this same issue. The vet assured me that beadies naturally have smelly poop. But with that in mind, she also made sure to share that veggies can cause runny poop in beardies. Especially the little guys. I decreased the amount of veggies offered to him, and his stools became more firm/formed. (that was the happiest that I have ever been over poop ). Best of luck with your little guy.

That makes sense!
Thank you for your help!

Silkworms do the same thing , especially if the dragon is allowed to eat several of them, but they are great at getting the dragon more regular and are one of the best feeder insects around.

With greens and veg, the higher the water content the sloppier the poos.

This is something that's worth following, and it's based on good science rather than just long term practices : viewtopic.php?f=18&t=236074 and this is the bible http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html and this is a useful comparison viewtopic.php?f=76&t=234999&p=1807834#p1807834.

I'd rather have a nice damp lizard poo (which has nice poo logs in it) than a liquid sloppy mess , a good diet will usually avoid really sloopy putril poos which can be caused by a GIT bug or parasites or even some meds.

At 8 months old , two feeds of live insects per day (as many as the juvenile wants each session) and greens and grated veg per day. NO BEARDIE BITES .
