Hello. I'm new to taking care of beardies. Godzilla is about 9 months old at minimum and is very energetic and has a good appetite. However I'm worried about his poop looking a little off. I'm willing to answer any questions if needed and provide any pictures as well. I just want to make sure he is doing alright.

Picture of his poop:

(He walked across it so it moved the urate and excess water that came out. It wasn't a lot but it looked a little cloudy.)

Most recently I've fed him some roaches yesterday, and kale and squash maybe two days before that. I've mostly fed him crickets but I wanted to see how he liked the roaches yesterday but he pretty much eats everything that smells like food and I feed him every other day. Am I doing anything wrong?

Also don't mind his scenery falling in the background I haven't been able to tape it back up yet.

The poop itself looks good. The urate could be a little whiter. Make sure he’s getting enough hydration.

Thank you so much for the reply! Do you have any tips for hydrating him well? When I give him baths I always drop some water onto his nose to help him but he never seems to lick it off.

I agree with Patsy all in all it looks good, and yea could be whiter. You could try and see if he would be interested in a slurry of sort. if you have a magic bullet that you could blend into a pulp his greens collard/turnip/mustard/dandelion greens are more preferred staple green..and add in 100% coconut water and see if that dripped onto his nose would be more yummy to lick off. Going by the picture I would feed him dubia every day those are nice and juicy bugs. Their digestive tract is very impressive in how it will squeeze every bit of liquid from their diet..
