how often should a beardie poop?

randi Aug 08, 2003 07:01 PM

Lance is about 3 months old and he has a few small poops a day. Lola on the other hand doesn't poop for days at a time. She is 7 months old and eats really well.

When she hasn't pooped for 2 days I give her warm baths. She usually goes after 2 baths.

Is Lola's pooping schedule normal? If not what else can I do for her? She eats a well balanced diet of veggies, crickets, and mealworms.

Thanks,
Randi

It varies from each dragon. My male goes only 2 or 3 times a week. My female goes every day. (they are both adults)
My babies are poop machines lol. Most of them are kept in groups so I don't know how much they each go but the ones in solitary confinement (the ones who decide that nipping is fun) go 1-3 times a day.

My oldest used to go once a day, but since I moved him onto bran, I swear he won't go until he in a bath (which he gets about every day, minimum of every other, he loves them), My bigger older female can go twice a day, depending upon how much and what she's eaten (more greens more pooping). My younger much smaller female goes once a day, but only immediately after she eats. If for whatever reason she doesn't care for the dinner selection (you think Morris the cat was finikey, he's got nothing on my youngest), she won't popp that day.
