Hi Everyone,
I adopted a juvenile bearded dragon on Tuesday the 8th of Jan.
He/she is approximately three months old. His/Her name is Kurosawa, nick name Kuro ?
I adopted Kuro from Hollywood Fishfarm.
I left Kuro alone on Tuesday and didn't attempt to feed him so he/she could settle a bit, but the next day he seemed hungry, when offering him food here ate it all up, he was eating around 8-11 insects per session, I do three sessions a day. He continued like this till his last session on Saturday when he only ate one insect, and through out today be has only eaten one bug in his morning and lunch time session.
He completely refuses to eat his veggies, and I have never seen him drink from the water bowl, (though he had drunk water droplets which I placed on his nose)
When he came on tuesday he had very dark stress lines, which I expected, and they have slowly faded. Kuro has made one poop everyday, and they were all healthy looking. He hasn't made a poop today.
The sudden change in his behavior has worried me, I really don't want to lose him..
I have spent a whole year researching and saving up the money to buy the correct equipment.
He currently live in a Reptile One 120-60-60cm tank
His Uvb bulb is a Reptile One UVB 10.0 18watt
And his heat lamp is a URS ceramic heat emmiter 150watt
I am using Reptile carpet and no loose substrate.
He had a small house on the cold side on the tank, and some large basking rocks under the heat lamp, he also has a large stick which runs from the hot side of the tank to the cold.
The temperature on the hot side is around 30-32 degrees Celsius on the hot side, and 24-26 degrees Celsius on the cold, the tanks temp is lowered to around 22-24 degrees Celsius at night, I'm aware that the temperature is a bit high for night time, but we are currently having a heat wave and that is the average temperature of the house, without even having his heater on at night.
That's all the info I can think about right now.
Please help me out, I'm quite worried about him.
