Draco my beardie's poop has changed. The only change I have made is I added meal worms this week and his poop today was kinda brown, firm, stinky, and no white thing. Last week there were a couple of days with the poop being somewhat firm but runny around it. Should I be worried? He is eating great, still active, I put the calicum powder on every feeding. He's eating like 20 crickets a day and still eats some greens. I did go to turnip greens which he doenst like as much as collards. He is shedding for like the 3rd time and he's about 7 in long..

Please Advise????

I dont mess with meal worms because they tend to give parasites to bearded dragons.. ACTUALLY, most petstores that sell live feeders such as crickets, meal worms and superworms on occassion can give parasites to your bearded dragon because of the poor care they get. Petstores don't feed them very much and they live in nasty conditions (which you never get to see, am I right?). Most of us buy ours through a cricket breeder on the internet and it's waayyy cheaper. I would suggest, filling the bathtub or sink up about to his mid section and let him swim arround for about 10-15 minutes just in case he's dehydrated which I don't think he would be if he's eating his greens. Spray your greens with water before feeding them to him/her to prevent dehydration. Collard greens are great! I feed a mixture of different greens to mine. Alot of us do on here. I feed mine, collard greens, turnip greens, finely chopped carrots, finely chopped squash, and sometimes on occassion a few finely chopped blueberries, and a bite of banana. It's good to get them used to different greens because they tend to get stuck on one green and then they become stuck for life.

As far as the runny poop goes, I would wait about 4 days. Believe me, you would not believe how freaked out I get when mine has runny poop. Actually just 3 weeks ago i was on here freaking out thinking he had parasites. I actually took him to the vet for absolutely nothing (turns out everything was ok). Their like us humans, sometimes were constipated, sometimes were normal, and sometimes we just got the ****s (lmao). If in 4-5 days it's really watery, I'd take him to your local vet and ask for a fecal exam (usually less than $20). Keep feeding him/her both a mix of greens and feeders, and bathing him/her and everything should turn out ok !

We tried the bath thing and he freaks out so we went to misting him. we were doing it in the sink cause he's small so maybe if we try the tub he may like that better. I did go from collards to turnip so maybe they affected him. His poop wasnt runny today but more brown. Plus it smells, does your beardie's smell? I will try the bath thing, i do keep a water dish in his tank and i mist his greens. i will stop the mealworms and can you tell me how to get crickets online. I get them from petsmart and they are 11 cents a piece which is getting high and there the only place around here for 20 miles.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
