Stink bug problems

I have an isopod colony next to my beardie’s enclosure which only recently has been infested by stink bugs, back then I could control it but they are breeding off the charts and some have started finding their way into his enclosure. I’m concerned he might have eaten one or will eat one in the future, I’ve read they are slightly toxic to beardies. What should I do? I’m moving my pod colony immediately.

Did the dragons beard turn black after he ate the bug? If so you need to get some activated charcoal in him as soon as you can

They should not be toxic to beardies, some people say they are slightly toxic or can cause an upset tummy but others say their dragon has eaten one and had no side effects at all.

Alright… So it’s not too much of a problem? That’s a relief

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
