So i bought a whole bunch of wax worms at a pet store here i gave like 2 or 3 to my bearded dragon which she loved btw well the net day i gave her a bath like a normally do and when she pooped in her bath 2 wax worms came out that didn't look like they were digested they just looked like dead wax worm. is this a common problem or should i stop feeding them to her.
 
Don't know about a beardie by I feed wax worms to my veiled and he has normal poop, nothing like you're describing.
 
Is her poop normal otherwise? I wouldn't feed her anymore just to be on the safe side so she doesn't get impacted. What do you normally feed her?

normally I feed her gut loaded crickets and her poop is always 100% ok everytime she poops. This just worried me I have sense cut her off from her treats.
 
I had a 2 year old bearded dragon still alive but just not in my custody. When I fed him meal worms once he pooped them all out the next day. He just didn't digest them properly and there are a number of reasons why he didn't . It won't harm him just make sure you have the right UVB and a good source of heat
 
What are the basking temps like. A beardie like a cham needs a good basking temo to proporly digest their food.
I give my beardie about 95-105 in the hot spot.:)
 
her basking spot is 93 right now and that's in the morning normally when it's mid day its 97-98 she also has areas in her tank she can go when she wants to cool off.
 
she's about 6-8 months im not 100% sure cause when we bought her we saved her from a pet smart like all of them that knew nothing about reptiles/lizards.

Don't know much bout beardies but good for you on saving her:D;).....those guys make me bad:mad:.....was in there a week ago getting something for my girlfriends conure (BIRD) and saw there chameleons babies and a ball python. Like I thought they couldn't tell me nothing. Told them they should do some research such a shame :(:mad:
