I can't be sure but I am wondering if the increase in metabolism has some impact on the production of feces. I don't find that mine produce all that much anyway! It seems to me that they utilize their food very efficiently so with the increased temps perhaps you aren't going to see any more feces than you did before.

Of course, I'm just thinking, not talking from experience or anything.

I do know that if you palpate them you will feel the lump of feces on the right side of the belly. You should be able to guage if this is abnormal or not if you have ever palpated and felt the normal lump. I don't know if this is helpful or not but think it could be.

I think putting a piece of carrot in for stray feeders is a good idea. Maybe the dragons will find them while they are feeding!
