Melvin is a 1.5-2 year old male (unsure of exact age) who has been having bouts of diarrhea.
At times, he goes every 1-3 days, other times he will not go all weeks and when he does, it is very loose and smells foul.
I did have a stool sample tested at the vet and he was positive for pinworms, for which he has been treated. He presently tests negactive for any other parasites or bacteria.
His diet is primarily collard greens, with a mixture of veggies (red bell peppers, sometimes carrots, peeled cucumbers) that are rotated out so he's not eating the same thing every day. Fruit on occasion. (1-2 blueberries, or few bites of a strawberry). Insects every other day. These are primarily wax worms, meal worms, Dubia roaches dusted in Repashy calcium.
When he does have diarrhea, there are bits of undigested greens present.
I have been having some trouble with getting his basking spot higher than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and am starting to wonder if that could play a part?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
