bowel movements? large and watery not runny with bit of white ?is that healthy? bearded dragon?

Question

lizard (bearded dragon)

Answer 1

Are you feeding him too much greens/fruits? Greens should only compromise about 30-40% of his diet (with fruits making up less than 10% of this). The rest needs to be proteins in the form of crickets/wax worms/meal worms/etc.

A watery stool generally means the reptile is ingesting too much liquid, and this usually comes from too much watery greens/fruits.

The white in the stool isn't the mucus plug that keeps the urine in, it is the uric acids produced by the kidneys and is the actual "urine" itself. Since reptiles/birds have a primitive kidney system they excrete concentrated uric acid that appears on top of the stool as the white/yellowish part.

Answer 2

what Rob_n_Liz said is right on the money. be sure your diet is correct. observing the excrement is a great way to tell how healthy your beardie is. not that appealing before dinner so observe after.

Answer 3

yeah that's fine just as long as you keep the proper diet up you will be fine the white is the mucus plug that keep the poop in >> if your really worried call the vet and just ask questions
