Watery Eyes

[Syrrith]

My bearded dragon Zeus has had some watery eyes to the point of a "tear" falling every once in a while. I notice this around feeding time more often, so could it be the smell of his food? On top of his veggies and roaches, he gets Flukers Buffet Pellets and T-Rex's Gourmet Blend mix. He really likes those and go for them more than eating his veggies, so Im rather hesitant to stop giving those to him. The gourmet blend has a strong smell though and you can smell it when you walk into the room. Could this be whats bothering him? I dont see anything in his eyes and he seems perfectly normal in every other way.

This is normal.

I recommend you feed the Flukers Buffet Pellets to the insects , they are not a good food for a dragon
See https://flukerfarms.com/buffet-blend-adult-bearded-dragon-formula/ poor Ca/P for starters.


The T-Rex's Gourmet Blend mix are worthless nutritionally to a dragon , toss them in the bin.

Thank you for your reply!
I definitely should have put a lot more work into looking up/at the ingredients for them. Since thats practically all he wants to eat, Im a bit nervous to stop giving them to him. He picks them out of his veggies when I give it to him mixed. Hopefully Ill be able to get him to eat his veggies more.
