My bearded dragon pooped undigested hornworm. Is this a concern?

Question

My bearded dragon pooped and there was about half a hornworm he had trouble letting go of. Should I be concerned? The rest of his waste was normal. He has been eating 1-2 horn worms a day along with about 3 large super worms since my normal cricket and super worm supplier has been low for a few weeks. I usually give him crickets and superworms daily and 1 hornworm every few days.

Dr. Paula Simons · Accepted Answer

I would not be overly worried about one incident of trouble pooing. If he continues to have difficulty digesting the hornworms, consider switching to another protein source like dubia roaches. Also, be sure he is receiving plenty of dark leafy greens and a balanced diet.
