Smelly Poo

[jmain]

Here lately my guy has had some pretty smelly poo is that an issue or no?

 

[SARBEAR]

If it smells like really bad (gag worthy) I would advise to get a fecal test done. A lot of times really smelly poo=parasites/bacterial infections

 

[jmain]

Its only gag worth when I clean it up. I don't even have an idea who I would bring a fecal sample to in my area

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Yep if its gagging smelly id recommend a vet visit! Good luck!!

 

[jmain]

But when is poo not gag smelly when you pick it up?

 

[jmain]

Could it be that its just because he is starting to eat hes greens and veggies?

thats what i thought cause those collard greens smell bad as is when im cutting em up lol

 

[Twobeardieguy]

LOL, its gonna smell but if you walk in the room and smell it within 5 foot of the viv then maby you should do a routine fecal! How old is your beardie?

 

[jmain]

The funny thing is the days he eats his greens he poos on the paper and the days he doesn't he poos on them.... but he is about 3 months old I would guess since I have had him for 2 months. Also it doesn't smell untill I open his viv to get it out.. Unless I haven't been home all day and its been basking and my parents don't take it out his food dish then you can smell it as you get close

sounds like you got mines brother (proper English? lol) cause it does the same exact thing when she didnt eat shed poop right on them and when she started eating them she pooped next to them or in the bath

 

[jmain]

mines?

The pooing in the veggies when they don't want to eat them must be some sort of universal dragon sign of displeasure in the offered food because Merlin does it too. He finds his veggies more interesting when I mix his superworms in with them. Today was only the second day that I've done that and he got right down when I put in the dish to see if I'd put worms in there this morning. I found it interesting that he'd remembered that from yesterday.

[jmain]
