Watery poo

[bluesoda025]

I noticed about a week ago, when my beardie does poo that day, she does so twice and I've also noticed a pattern: The first poo looks like a normal one, the second one looks like mostly water -- quite a bit of water too. Now that I'm using paper towels as substrate (because she has pinworms and coccidia and I'm treating her), I can see more clearly what was in the poos. The second watery poo covers quite a big surface area of the paper towel. But it's not dark, or red, or anything. There isn't really any colour, except for the slightest tinge of yellow. So I am assuming it is mainly water, and maybe a little bit of urates in there. It can't be diarrhea if there aren't any feces in it, correct?
Actually, I think even her first poo has quite a bit of water in it, but not as much. It also looks like just water and the feces look normal. Maybe this has to do with how I've also started feeding her silkworms a week ago? Do those contain a lot of water or something? Am I right in thinking that this is completely normal and she is just really, really well hydrated and I shouldn't be worrying about this at all? Anyways I guess it's not really "watery poo" it's just normal poo with lots of water alongside it. :lol:

My beardie has watery poo sometimes too but there is always a good section of solid poo and urinate, never all yellow. I would like to believe its because shes well hydrated too. silkworms are 63.8% protien and 78% H2O. Good luck sorry I wasn't much help.

Yeah, now I'm pretty sure it's just water. From what I've seen, silkworms actually have a looot of water in them (let's just say I found out the gross way ).
I was pretty surprised that I got no replies though. I usually get at least one reply on this site.

My beardie does that too: it seems like she "pees" water, and then the normal urate and poo come out. I suppose it's not diarrhea because poop is well formed, like your case.
I'm no expert, but I guess that if your beardie seem healthy and active, there should be no problem. My beardie eats a lot of veggies, so that could be excess water...

Anyway, I'm interested about other people's input!

Mine does this as well! I do think it really depends on the water content of what they eat or if they actually drink water. Mine have more watery stools when they've drunk water from their baths and since I started giving the veggies an extra mist its far more common.
