White rock in poop needs diet change

So my bearded dragon has been having digestive issues and constapation. She was eating black fly larvae but she was pooping it out alive. That scared me and vet sad use, crickets and worms.

I have done that past month but she got more constapation and today pooped out rock hard white solid lumps I read that can happen if they are eaten shells like the crickets and superworms too much.

I was feeding her bugs twice a week and salad 3-5 week.

I don’t want to do Dubai but obviously I need different vet who I’m seeing next week but what is the easiest on the stomach for protein?

Thank you

The undigested bugs is in correct surface basking temps-how are you getting those temps and what are they- how old is the dragon? How are you getting surface basking temps- the hard white urate is caused by dehydration -- how is she getting water and how often?

She’s got basking temperatures right. I just order new bulbs too just in case they don’t work as well but temperature is right and uva uvb heat and tube one too.
She’s almost 2 and I wet her salad down twice a week. She refuses to drink out of bowl and doesn’t like drop it in her mouth often. I did get her to drink some tart cherry juice with water today. I read that’s ok but not often.

Sometimes she will drink coconut nut water but she’s not big on drinking anything that much.

I’m seeing that’s probably the issue too but thought her greens being wet would do it for her.

I need better bugs. She likes hornworms but not sure if that can be stample food.

Hornworms are great for hydration- not a staple- make sure your insects are hydrated that would be your crickets dubias - what are your surface basking temps how are your getting them? Uvb please?

either she really likes me, or shes hungry
I can’t wait to see Dr.Wilson be a big dragon but I try to cherish hard the moments while he still fits in my hand 🦎
It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
