Hi. My juvenile beardie, Meekor, seems to just be downright terrified of salad. Whenever I put him on our table, the moment I place a tiny bowl of salad next to him, he takes off flying and flailing about. If I leave him alone with it in his cage, he will eventually make his way over to it and eat it, but this morning I placed him next to his salad bowl and he just about tumbled out of the cage as he sprinted away, tearing an unfinished bit of his shedding clean off. I put some sports tape over the exposed area, but I'm still so confused. What could possibly be causing this behavior?
My juvenile bearded dragon has a literal fear of salad.

I'm not sure that it's the salad on it's own. It could be from moving him or it could just be general jumpiness from the shedding which can cause some odd behavior. I'd try putting the salad in his enclosure but not moving him and just letting it sit in the background for a bit and see if that helps.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
