To anyone here who has frilled dragons or has alot experience with reptiles im actually a bit worried about him. He hasnt been going to the toilet regular. He eats like no tomorrow and eating over 30 standard silent crickets a day!!! Is this normal? hes 2ft in total length and about 11 inches body length
when he does go its either sloppy with not very good form, or small toilets in comparison to how much he eats and a couple of times hes gone to the toilet without urate coming out too. About 3-4 weeks ago he swallowed a orchid bark chip that a locust hung onto and hes toilet has been messed up since. Not regular and mishaped. The chip would be small enough to pass and i imediately rang coldblooded in rainham and they said he should pass it no problem.
Ive put posts up about this before but people just keep telling me its jut hes diet and every lizard is different but ive kept him on nothing but crickets so it not locusts thats giving him the funny belly. Hes temps are what they should be and hes still eating fine, eating like a pig. Is he not going to the toilet as much because hes metabolism i slowing down as he ages? hes 10months old
Please someone help me
Kelly

Make sure his temps are on the warm side of their recommended range, make sure his bugs are well gotloaded, make sure he is getting plenty of calcium, make sure he is not dehydrated, remove any loose substrate... and i can't think of anything else that might cause isssues with digestion.
Maybe give him a bath every day until he perks up?
I haven't kept one so can't be more specific about what is normal. |
