regular defecation

What is considered normal defecation intervals for a bearded dragon who gets fresh food daily.

I give my Bearded Dragon fresh veggies daily and crickets once a week. It seems like he is defecating daily or every other day. I assume that is considered regular.

I am not really worried about him becuase he is acting normal and active I was just curious.

How old is your dragon?
Young ones should get crickets daily.
Mine "go" every day!
Messy little buggers!

Re: regular defecation

He is about 4 years old. He seems like he is picky about when he eats. Sometimes he won't eat every day even though I am giving him fresh food every day.

Re: regular defecation

Then yea crickets a couple times a week is fine. They need less when then get older. That is how I feed mine, but he gets lots of greens daily and goes daily as well. How long has he been like that?
