hello everyone...
spike (my 11 week old) had a runny stool today.... its never been runny before... and the only "new"thing.. is that he tried a dandelion green... could this have done it? the stool itself was only slighty runny but there was runny stuff around it... sorry about the detail LOl... oo and when will he ome more interested in his greens?

I doubt it was the dandelion greens because danelion greens and collard greens are usally used as staple vegetable diets and as your dragon gets older, vegetables become a greater portion of their daily intake of food. Hope this helps

Yes, it wasn't so much the dandelion greens, but the change in his diet that made it runny... if he's been eating crix and then you changed to any green, more then likely it will throw off his system for a few days... he should be fine. keep feeding him the greens every day and crix too. If the stool stays runny for more then a few days, then there is a chance it's parasites and you'd want to take it in to the vet... but it's more then likely just the change in diet.

I don't know about reptiles, but in humans, uncooked Dandelion greens and roots are a mild laxitive. They are also a "liver cleanser" that remove toxins from the bloodstream.
