This is the 6th month ive had my beardie, everything was okay in the beginning, she pooped solid browns, but 2 months ago i found a very liquid green poop in her enclosure, called the vet said if it continues get an appointment, then it stopped then a few weeks after she got it again and it hasn’t stopped since. The vet did a parasite test on her, it was negative however the poops continue… she has them about 2-3 hours after she eats (cant find wet pictures but i uploaded a dry one ((the squares are just stuck parts of her substrate)) and it sorta looks like she cant digest her greens? Her behaviours are normal, she’s a nice yellow bright colour and has a really good appetite, I have a UVB lamp and a basking spot for her she has a 2.4 meter long enclosure.
Diet: feed her collard and mustard greens daily and mix in rocket salad and endives in there sometimes (tried rotating them and cutting some greens out with no effect), once every while i give her a bit of strawberries or carrots and parsley in small amounts as a form of treat. She gets Dubai roaches/ or crickets 3 times a week and gets calcium dusts once a week on the bugs. (We have high calcium content in the water where i live so i don’t wanna overdose her with more dustings)
The vets really aren’t helping in all of this, they just keep saying that if she isn’t showing any distress signs then it’s fine. But there’s no way this is healthy, however i cant figure this out, i’ve read so many articles looked on so many forum and most people just say its the wrong diet?? But then when i cross check her diet is correct according to the sources ???
I also talked to one of the reptile specialist in a pet store (im desperate okay) and he recommended i try probiotics (attached picture of the one i got haven’t tried them yet as i wanna find the root of the issue first) I’m suspicious that her lighting might be wrong but I’m not sure (picture attached too, its the box on the right its 400mm above her flooring) she’s not my first reptile but first beardie (she was a rescue and is currently around 4-5 years old, dont have any details on her health history 😔) and ive never dealt with an issue like this before, would appreciate any theories or advice if anyone has dealt with this or anything similar before.
Thanks reddit !!
