Drago is 9m old,eats greens in the morming and 2feeds of locust afternoon and night.Poos most days but the last two has had a lot of water as well,seems fine inhimself, anyone any suggestions

Water in poo is typically a sign of a well hydrated dragon. What salad mix are you feeding him?

 

[aberdare]

Thanks for the reply,try to give him whats in season here (wales)spring greens, dandilion, carrot, apple.sweet potatoes,pear,turnip tops,also bath him every other day.

The apples are probably what is causing the "watery" BMs. Apples act as a natural laxative and are often used to help pass impactions cause they loosen things up.

That is a great mix. I have to agree with Brian, cut down on the apple or cut it out altogether for the time being. All fruit should be offered as a treat, about once or twice a week.

 

[aberdare]

Thanks for the advice, only tried the apple couple of daye ago,and yesterday,could be.

Most likely that is the culprit for the watery poo! As long as it is not fowl smelling and your dragon is acting normal, I think it is the apple.

Hey, sorry to steal the thread but BeeGee has the same thing happen to him since i've given him reptiworms. Is it because of a new food source? He's absolutely fine, basking and all. It doesn't smell it's just watery.

as long as the liquid is clear and it does not stink it means they are properly hydrated and should not be anything to worry about.
