I recently acquired a bearded dragon that was in need of rescue.
I have been at work all day so havn't been home but my wife mentioned that Mushu has been hanging out in the cold end of his tank all day is this normal? We were told by the previous owner that he is 6-7 months old.However, we only got him a couple days ago so I think he is definitely going through some relocation stress. he has been eating fine as well, although his poops have been sort of runny (so far have contributed this to stress/him being fed romaine lettuce by previous owners) I was going to get a fecal done if it didn't clear up in a while. His basking perch has been a little colder than it should be (around 95 after buying higher watt lamps last night) I was planning to see if I could raise his platform tonight to see if that would help with the temperatures. I am worried that there might be something else wrong with him but thats probably just parental anxiety.
This is also not the first time I have caught him doing this he slept in the cool end all one night and didn't move to his basking spot after an hour so I picked up up and put him there. He seemed to perk up a bit after that and ate about 15 crickets and some salad for breakfast.
