Hi everyone - a concerned beardie mom here. My Groot is about 6-7 months, he is about 19.5 inches. For a good week or so now he has been acting very very erratic. He runs across the tank, glass surfs and I even found him clinging to the lid of the tank. He has been eating way less than normal. He just completed a shed. To give context when we first got him we were feeding him crickets, he was eating as many as he could for 10 min abt 3x a day dusted in calcium or vitamin depending on the day. He then stopped liking crickets so we switched over to roaches, same feeding routine. He would probably eat between 20-40 crickets/roaches per session. He then also lost interest in roaches so we switched to super worms. He loved the worms and was eating abt 15 per session. Just this past week and a half he has not wanted worms, I bought hornworms as he liked those as a snack, he refuses. He is also refusing wax worms. He was pooping regularly every day, and they were large formed stools. Now he has continued to poop, however his poop is much less, and there’s no form to it. He has greens available switching from mustards, kale, celery leaves, and occasionally fruit. I can’t really tell if his greens are being eaten as when he’s running all over his greens go all over the place. His basking area is between 102-110. He has a cool side and a couple of hammocks he likes to hang out on. He also has a UVB that goes throughout his tank. A lot of the time he’ll stop running around and be at the front of the tank just staring. I take him out everyday and he hangs out with us, he isn’t as erratic when he is out with us.
I guess my concern is his erratic behavior, eating less, and smaller poops. Any feedback is appreciated!!
