Has cork bark as a basking spot as-well as hide throughout enclosure, fresh salad provided daily although he doesn't eat it.
Problem :
He rarely basks I have to put him on his basking spot as he wont go there by himself he then only basks for 10-15 mins then goes back to hiding or laying in the corner.
He goes crazy for live food which he is given 3 times a week and runs about his enclosure to catch them, When I got him from the rescue centre he was very active in the shop however since getting him home he has turned into a pet rock he has been with me over 2 months now.
I had a parasite check done that came back clear so that isn't causing the problem.
just wondering if anyone has any advice, could it be that his vivarium is on the floor, is it common for bearded dragons not to do anything, is there something im doing wrong?
