Pastel pink/orange poop?

[ScalelessTime]

My beardie has been pooping a lot lately, about 3-4 times a day (I'm new with beardies) and this morning he pooped a pastel pinkish-orange and it was a semi-solid. I saw no blood, nor was there actual POOP. So, is this normal??

Based on the color it sounds like you are keeping him on calci-sand, take that out asap and replace it with a repti-carpet or something other then that. It sounds like he is gorging himself because he is extremely calcium defecient due to not providing a UVB source. Him eating and pooping calci-sand is not a good sign and I suggest putting him in quarantine with correct setup and try and nurse him back to health. Im saying this based on your other thread about him being small, he is not doing good.

I really emplore you to visit the caresheet I linked in your other thread because you doing it all wrong.

What substrate are you keeping him on? My first thought reading this was "calcium sand." If so, Kenny above made a few good points regarding. I lost my beard ie at 6 years old due to compaction.

If you are not keeping him on sand, post some pics of the feces. Most vets will except a stool sample if you want to verify and make sure he is ok.

I was keeping him in a soon-to-be snake cage with only paper-towel substrate and a light aiming straight through the glass. I finally got him his 40 gal tank and his own large domed light and his poop has gotten much MUCH better. I could tell he wasn't happy before because he wouldn't eat, now he is eating like a pig and for the first time, eating his salads!

@KennyG , This is not Franky, this is Titan (the normal sized one)
