So, my beardie hasnt been sick in AGES. But, for some reason, when he pooped there had been a undigested superworm half stuck in his vent.
For months now we had to give him superworms and veggies because crickets had stopped selling here due to covid-19. He had never had any problems with them until now. He doesnt have a black beard nor has shown any sign of pain but,, it doesnt look right
Will it fall out on its own or should i contact a vet? Im terrified that it might cause a prolapse or any problems. Im also scared to even touch it in case I cause any tears or bleeding in his body );
((it looks like a sperm plug but i assure you its not. in person i can see the ""ridges"" of the superworm
I can't tell in any way that it's a superworm, looks like a sperm plug. Either way it's going to come out, just give him a warm soak, put on a pair of gloves and very gently try to grab it + rock it back + forth. It's not going to prolapse and you won't need a vet. If it doesn't come out you can coat the vent with oil or vaseline using a Q-tip.
