Worried about my beardie

[Subiedude]

Hey guys, so with a series of events on me trying to move, I had to move drago twice, and he hasn't came out of his hide since settling in at my new place. I'm sure it was super stressful but still, I'm worried. It's been like a week, Doesn't seem like he has came out at all, even to eat. Got him some live crickets tonight which he generally goes ape about, but nothing. Any ideas or tips to help him through this?

Ok go over your uvb your using- coil or long tube - how old is the bulb and where is it? Surface basking temps should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- no colored bulbs off white or yellowish or daytime bulbs please-- we need to make sure this all up to par to rule this out- could be weather- relocation stress- has he brunated in the past?

All the bulbs are the correct bulbs and in the right place and right distance and are new, Temps and humidity are where they should be as well. As far as brunation, I have no idea, don't think so, not since I've had him

Ok we'll get a weight on him - I would offer him water- keep track of his weight- if he's losing it there is a issue

If he's just stressed out I really don't want to grab him out of his hide to weigh him, don't feel that would help the situation

If he's brumating your going to need him out anyway- every 2 weeks or so- does he have stress marks that you can see

 

[Subiedude]

I can't really see him where he is at, but I can tell pretty much every time I look he's sleeping

Ok well if he moves see if there are stress marks on him -- it sounds like he may have gone into brumation

Written by Denise R. Bushnell in June, 2008 For those who are not experienced in the hobby, and who keep Bearded Dragons as pets, one of the greatest sources of worry is when, for one reason or another, our beardies refuse to eat for long periods of time, or become increasingly inactive and...
