Hello
I've had my boy for three months now. He's just over two years old. I feed him dubias or superworms every other day, and veg (different greens, squash, carrot, berries) every day. Salads and bugs are dusted with repcal+d3 and herptivite. For the last two weeks, he's refused to touch his salads, but he acts like he's starving when I give him his bugs.
I give him a bath every other night, and he is not dehydrated. On Saturday, I noticed muscle twitching in all four legs, so I took him to the vet on Monday to test for MBD. His x-ray and blood panel came back fine, but he hadn't pooped in a couple of days (normal, he only goes two or three times a week) so we're waiting to do a fecal test.
He's under a reptisun 10.0 duo light with SunGlo heat lamp and a CHE at night. Hot side of the 40gal tank is 100f, cool side is 75f, he gets 14 hours with his lights on.
All day yesterday, he acted normal. He's pretty lazy during the day, he just likes to go back and forth between his favorite perches (on top of his hide to watch out the window, under his log, on top of his log to bask) all day. But last night, I gave him a bath (shallow, just barely above room temp). Usually he likes to nap after a bath, but this time he didn't. He ran around the room instead, under and over furniture, back and forth between the window and the door, just super energetic and hyper. His beard wasn't colored or fluffed, he didn't try to hide anywhere, he showed absolutely no signs of stress. I thought maybe he was just feeling better or something, so I let him tucker himself out before I put him back in his cage, around 9pm. His lights turn off at 9:30, and he's normally asleep before they even go off, but not last night. He stayed in his hammock until I checked on him at midnight, where he was still wide awake. I went to bed, but I heard him all night moving around his cage, tipping over his food bowl, splashing in his water dish (where he pooped finally, that's going in for a test today), scrabbling all over his hide and his log making a huge ruckus. He's never done this before. He was still awake when I checked on him this morning. I leave for work at six, his lamp comes on at 7:30. He's never awake that early, but this morning he was. He was back in his hammock, there was poop in his water, and his salad was flung all over the place, like he'd tossed the whole bowl. Does anyone have an idea what's going on with my Little Dude?
