stickyfingers Jun 30, 2004 11:40 AM

I have young bearded dragon ( about 7 months old ) he's about 14 inches now but lately hes been having diarhea . I for the past week or so have been feeding him small vitamin dusted cockroaches and spinach ( cause i ran out of collard greens) he has a warm basking spot and uvb light and hes still active and otherwise healthy. thanks

First thing would be a fecal! You have to find out the cause. It's most likely parasites.

Spinach is a no no. You said you are only feed that because you ran out of collards,,, does that mean , collards are the only veggie you are feeding (if you had not run out) ????

Even collards are high in oxalates (which binds calcium) You need to offer a variety of veggies & do a little homework.

Here is a good place to start.

Good luck.
Good place to do some homework.
