Hello guys, I'm relatively new to owning a beardie. A month ago I went on vacation and left my beardie with my in-laws for the four days we were away. When we came back home and set up his tank everything was fine. But since we returned Quespy (My little guy) has hardly touched his food and has not pooped since. He drinks very little water now too. While he was at my in-laws' I had given them pre-made meals in servings for him and the cared for him as I would. I'm not sure if it has to do with us being away for 4 days or the change of scenery or if something unrelated happened to him. Any ideas? I am thankful for any ideas on what is going on. Thank you.

It's called relocation stress-- totally normal.- he will adjust give him time-was he eating at the inlaws? Don't worry about the pooping- as long as his basking temps are good along w/ good UVB No coils- and proper placement of UVB he will poop-- what goes in must come out!
