The runs ???

[Bmolle]

i got up this morning and my beardie was just layin under the light as usual and put in her locust she didnt even move (thats not like her). Later after putting in salad she still hasnt eaten. i opened the viv and the stink was over powering . i found the feaces and it was all wet and nasty. Diarrhoea ???
if so is anything to do or just leave her be.

Could be that your beardie is about to shed, i know with my Finny & Susana they will tend to eat less while they are about to shed. As for the runs, how much greens and veg is she being given, because this is where your beardie will get most of its fluid from. The more greens they are having (ie cucumber) the "wetter" the waste is going to be.

My beardie, just recently, has the same runny, slightly watery poo as yours seems to have. the only difference in his diet since is that he has become quite keen on strawberries so judging by the last comment I think that may be the cause. I'd keep an eye out and if it remains runny then give a rep vet a call for peice of mind.
