Wondering

[Rah]

Hey, I got a 3 month old beardie, for the past 2 days or so, he hasn't been eating alot. Ive dusted the crickets with calcium, yesterday with calcium + multivitamin. He seemingly eats it when I'm not looking seeing how they are no more in the viv. NEvertheless, I wake up this morn, turn his lights on only to see his sh1t. Now, it doesn't look how his normal sh1t does, it was kind of a deformed shape rather looking like a rice grain and it had 2 red dots in it. I dropped two crickets in there to see if he'd eat, he wouldn't move from the corner. When I try to lift him out of his tank for some human companionship, he jumps outta my hands before i lift him out of the viv. Just wondering if this would be something that would pass instead of being told I gotta take him to the vet everytime something's a bit off.

he's not scared of me, when he wants water he'll go to the corner of the viv that has the water cup and sit there until i give him water, which i just did. nevertheless, he just woke up like 20-30 min ago and hasn't eaten his crickets yet. Also, as of right now, when I try and lift him up, he'll run away and lift his tail up in the aware sense.

Hmm...is there anyway you can take pics of the poops? I heard that rice-looking poop can be some sort of worm.

Can you answer these questions about your setup so we can help you?

6) What size enclosure is your beardie in?
7) What substrate is your beardie on?

9) What do you offer for food?
10) How often does he eat?
11) How often does he have bowel movements and what is their consistency?
12) Have you had a fecal done on him ever?
