Stressed bearded dragon

[MaddyMoo456]

I’m almost positive my 6 month old beardie is stressed, he has only ate 3 roaches these past two days and he only sleeps all day
I leave for school around 8 and come back at 4:15 so maybe it’s just him not getting enough attention and I don’t know how to help the little guy
someone please tell me how to cure a stressed bearded dragon please

When you think they are stressed the first thing you need to do is recheck your husbandry. Temps are changing in most parts of the country so things may need some tweaking. If temps are off, they could also not want to eat much. The other thing to do is to get a fecal done to make sure his not eating isn't due to any parasite issues.

They always seem attention starved but they are okay being left alone for hours during the day. It's just us putting our guilt on them. This week I couldn't come home during lunch but peeked at Dexter on the camera and saw her staring at the door of her tank like she was looking for me. Broke my heart because I really wanted to go home but she was probably just sitting there because that's where her basking spot is.
