I posted a thread in behavior, but that was because I thought he was shedding, and thus acting strange. But now Im thinking it was hornworms that made him sick and then changed his behavior.
I got 12 hornworms last weekend and their poop was blackish. Then the hornworm chow started smelling rancid, and after feeding them 6 of the 12, he stopped eating except for a hornworm or two, and about 5 dubia, for 3 days, then only 5 dubia and a huge diaharia (not poop and liquid but diaharia) and the whole time he was trying to find the cool side and hide.
Today he seemed better, and then ingested a large pebble while we were sitting outside (another story). I bathed him in pedialyte and also gave him some in a dropper.
But my question is, has anyone ever had a situation when the hornworm chow turned rancid smelling, and if your dragon seemed to get sick from it.
