It means you need to wipe their backside and/or give 'em a soak to clean them off.

could mean alot of things...they may not be hydrated enough, which means you need to give them soaks, mists etc to hydrate them. You need to clean the cage. Parasites can cause problems with bowel movements as well.

If your dragon is having trouble pooping, and it doens't smell horendous, give him a soak, gently clean his vent area of all traces of feces. Clean his cage if it's messy in there. I would also soak him regularly or mist his greens to ensure he remains hydrated. If he continues to have problems, get a fecal done to check for internal parasites.

I have a related question...

My beardie (Saku) seems to have the exact opposite, he seems to have runny feces. Its definetly not a sold mass..

Should i be concerned?

If anyone has any info please post or contact me at sellout007@hotmail.com
