Beardies poo always smells bad, no matter what you give them to eat.

£10 a week?
I'd keep an eye on her weight/look for cheaper crickets.


I don't know if it is just me but I don't find BD poo to smell that much at least not to the point where I'am heaving because of the smell, your BD may have a bowel problem. Also this thread would be better placed in the lizard section so you may want to ask a MOD if they will move this thread for you.

Beardies poo can really stink, its a fact! sorry!!

as for food, when I had my beardie (RIP Tom) he would only eat locusts if I let him! If you cut the meat down a bit the beardie will have to eat veg, try all different things, mine loved sweetcorn and peas and butternut squash - better than nothing! Also loved the bugs that meal worms turn into which work out quite reasonable but I think can be fattening so keep an eye. Mine also liked mashed up vet and i spoon fed him - just got to keep trying until you find something he likes!!! Also let the bugs eat loads of veg so it gets in that way as well!!

Good luck
