Sudden Diarrhea?

[pp2795]

Both my leos got Diarrhea yesterday. They have ALWAYS had perfectly formed stools, except now. But i think i know what may be causing it. I was unable to obtain crickets for 4 days, when i got the crix, i also got mealworms and wax worms. My both leos have always been fed crix since the day they were born according to the breeder that sold them to me [Mike Rekowski]. i gave both my leos a couple waxies, only one of them took to the mealworms, and both of them also had a couple crix. Could the sudden change of diet have cause the diarrhea? How long till it goes away? Can i continue adding mealworms to their diet? [Both these geckoes have been in perfect health since birth, no medical problems.]

Sometimes a change in feeders results in a short period of runny stools as they adjust. This happened with mine when I introduced superworms. Keep feeding the new feeders if you want and if they don't adjust the stools within a week or so you could always take them to the vet.
