Change of food

[OwnedBy2Dragons]

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place or not but need some advice. Yesterday I changed my dragons onto locusts only, they usually get crickets with odd boxes of locusts here and there as treats. This morning one of them has had watery stool. Is this because of the change in food and to just keep an eye on him or would I be needing to get him into a vet asap. Thanks in advance

Anytime there is a change of food can effect the stool outcome- what else are you feeding besides the locust / crickets? Usually veggies w / a lot of water content will do that too -- like squash green peppers etc -- also keep in mind that crickets are good for giving parasites so you need to be familiar w/ the stools -- usually really runny smelly stools like bad smelling could be a sign of parasites - along w/ lethargic behavior if the count is really high --
