Hi there,
I have a beardie named Kiah. he is about 14 inches, we have had him since February. He has always been friendly and excitable. He doesn't usually use his hides for whatever reason, he has never really seemed interested. He spends a vast majority of his time basking, and sometimes will just go and stand in/near his water, but that's it.
For the past few days he has been hiding almost the entire time. He hasn't moved much unless it is to eat. In fact, yesterday he didn't move at all except for when we gave him his crickets. Other than that he stayed hiding underneath his plant in the corner. And when we have taken him out during this past few days, he isn't excitable like he usually is. Usually he is tough to keep control of and will constantly try to climb up onto our shoulders/heads or jump onto the furniture. But the past few days he just lays on us and makes himself cozy, which is cute, but I'm concerned, it's not like him.
His temps are all correct, I have been checking them diligently, and he is eating normally and pooping every day. Nothing in his tank has changed, nothing in the household or routine has changed. He hasn't LOOKED stressed, he's been brightly colored, white on bottom. He sometimes puffs up but it seems to be just stretching. He does it about once a day, and not in reaction to anything, he has been doing that for about a month now. He doesn't look angry or stressed when he does it.
Could he be sick? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch.
