Hey all, we are considering getting another BD for Ari (I really want to get him a pet for his birthday - BD or a box turtle) and I have an important question for all you keepers:

Is their poo always REALLY stinky?

Here's why I ask - we had a male BD a few years back that we got as a hatchling. We got him up to 1yr old before we decided to trade him for two reasons. 1- He never calmed down and would always run, struggle, and try to bite no matter what we did, and 2- his poo smelled awful! You could smell it from across the apartment.
We really like BDs, but don't want that smell again. So I ask - is BD poo normally really smelly or did our guy have a problem with digestion or bad food? We fed him crickets and a pre-made gel food for veggies since he refused fresh.

Ari would love to have a BD of his own...but first we have to find out about that smell. Thanks!
