Has there been any change in diet?

Not really. Still feed him as many crickets as he will eat in one siting once a day. then I give him a fresh salad every morning that consists mostly of collard greens and kale. sometimes we get mustard and turnip greens. the only thing i can think of is i just started getting crickets from fluckers. i got a 1000 of them. ive been gut loading them with a frozen veggie mix that i have used in the past but the store bought criks just didnt take to it as well as these do. they eat the shit out of it. also i put some powdered milk that has calcium powder in it on top of the veggie mix and some cat food. like i said thats really the only thing that has changed.


Also just started using zoomed's repti-safe in both my reptials water. (1 beardie, 1 tokay)

Why are you using powdered milk and cat food? Calcium powder is readily available in most pet stores. As for the cat food, what is the reason for it?

Cat food? Huh?

Cat food? Huh?

Yes, I'm wondering who told him to use cat food and why.

Powdered milk was just something i found when looking up cheep home made gut load recopies. natural calcium. good commercial cat food is also high in protein, which crickets need a high protein diet. is it a bad idea. cause ive been using it to feed my crickets for a little over a year and my beardie has just know started pooping with the green film. something i left out was that i started to use this spray calcium (no d3) by zilla. maybe this is the culprit?
