Help?

Same problem, but now I am more concerned. Yesterday my beardie had an odd looking poop, but then had a normal one this morning. Just now, it's back to like it was yesterday. He is eating like a horse, and his temps are ideal. I have attached a photo (sorry) so that maybe someone can tell me what is going on. He's been acting normal all day until he pooped, now he is just acting kind of lethargic... Any advice?

OH, and it doesn't smell any worse than normal dragon poop.

What exactly kind of veggies/fruits are you putting in his salad? What kind of calcium supplements/vitamins are you dusting with?

I've been feeding him collard greens until today when I ran out, and I gave him turnip greens and some bok choy leaves. I read online and it said it was okay to give him grapes as a treat occasionally so on Thursdays I give him about a quarter of a grape, skinned, and very finely chopped, but he only eats maybe a piece or two. I've been feeding him phoenix worms in the morning, dubias for lunch, and phoenix worms for dinner. I dust his salad twice a week with a multivitamin from Exo Terra.

You're feeding all good things. It's normal for the poop to have a coating on it. It's good that it's a formed pooped and not mushy or loose. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested by a vet. He's eating normal and acting normal my guess (and I'm not an expert) is he's just well hydrated.

Okay. Thanks Patsy. And you really do need a hotline lol. Hell, you could probably charge by the minute lol.

I'm glad I could help. But like I said, I don't really now all that much. I haven't really experienced too many serious medical problems with Dexter and Luci. One thing I have learned is to trust your gut. If you really really think there is something wrong then their most likely is and you should have a vet take a look.
