Is there something wrong with my lizard or am I overreacting?
Post Body

Hi all.

I've had arkose since September 2016. As a baby he would eat a lot. I'd have to order about 300 dubias every 2-3 weeks. He would never touch his vegetables either. As an adult he seems to be eating more vegetables and less roaches.

Usually his diet consists of acorn squash, mustard greens, and 2-3 roaches a day. The past week it feels like he's hardly eaten. He doesn't eat roaches I offer, and the greens I put in his bowl go untouched. He maybe eats one or two pieces of greens. I thought maybe he was tired of the mustard greens, so I switched to rainbow char. He tried it spit it out.

He used to poop in his cage but now it seems he only poops during bath time. I gave him a bath Sunday and he pooped. It got everywhere, like diarrhea? I gave him one today and he popped, and it came out sort of small, like stringy poop instead of a big lump.

He usually lays in his cave. If I take him out, he runs around no problem. He'll find a nice spot and lay there. He basks sometimes. He seems healthy overall , but maybe this is adult beardy life? I can't afford a vet right now, let alone rent.

Is his behavior normal? Should I try a new diet?
