Hello, my bearded dragon had a yellow urate today. She is gravid, so I’ve been having trouble getting her to take food and calcium. I think her fat pads are good though. The urate and poop were soft and wet. What does the color mean?
She had a hornworm, crickets, and reptiboost yesterday. I’m not sure if any of those make that color. Maybe the reptiboost? It was a yellowish brown tan color.

Hello,

Yes, her fat pads look fine. She must be relatively far along if she isn't wanting to eat much.
The yellowish urate could just be supplementation. It doesn't look like yolk or anything like
that.
The Reptiboost could possibly have caused some discoloration.
Is she doing well otherwise, spending enough time basking, etc?

Yes, she digs in the morning and afternoon and basks for a few hours before bed. Not eating t much at all right now though. Thank you very much!

This was her poop from today. Not yellow, but a bit odd. I think because she hasn’t been eating that much. And she might only be pooping from the stress of laying eggs.
