Hello,
I am new to this site with our beardie "Sandy".
Sandy is about 2-3 months old, male I believe, 10 inches long and is now in his new 55 gallon tank. Substrate is crushed walnut shells, which was recommended by the pet store. He has a hollow log for shelter, a climbing log, and his water and food dishes. Average tank temp is between 100 to 75 degrees. I have some concerns sice we moved him to his new home about a month ago. His "bathroom" breaks have changed significantly, sometimes with no action for 2-3 days at a time. Loved snow peas from day one and now doesn't seem to touch any greens that I give him. Loves meal worms, but now I am reading that they are not as good for him as we thought. Eats 2-3 large crickets a day, down significantly from the 5-10 larger ones he used to eat. He doesn't seem to chase his food, waits to actually be served, which leads me to wonder about the whole paralized thing. Color seems ok. Used to see him open his mouth to breath, but now he sits with his mouth slightly open & his tounge tip always exposed. I also have questions bout "bath time". I feel like a paranoid mother. Can I get some much needed advise? Thanks :roll:
