Hi! I’m a new beardie momma and my baby chonks has been acting sleepy since Sunday when I returned home from sleeping over my friend’s. Before I left I fed him Saturday around 10:30-11 am and I cleaned his tank out. I made the mistake of using a little bit of glass cleaner to clean the glass, but I let it air out. I didn’t think much of it when I did that but now that he’s acting sleep. I am a bit concerned that I caused him harm.
He ate on Sunday and he was eager to eat his crickets per usual but in between me grabbing crickets and giving them to him, he’d go back to sleep it seems right where he’s eating. I know that it’s way too early for him to be going through brumation. He also seems to be pooping just fine since I had to clean up poop again on Sunday, and he pooped on my blanket Today. Even today, once his eyes are open he’s all normal and eating his crickets as savagely as ever. But then I turn to grab more and he’s back in his deep slumber. If I move him he opens his eyes for a second or if he hears something he hasn’t before like a car beeping or me moving the crickets to the tote he’s like all alert but then he goes right back into deep slumber. He does move about on his own but it’s less frequent
Some other changes that were made that i should mention is that I got a new bulb since my last one died. This one isn’t a orange light like I’m last one it’s more of a white light. I’m not sure if that could of caused a change in him as well. Since I’m not sure if it caused a change, I switched it to two smaller ones that I had from when I had first got him.
This is just unlike him, of course I’m considering it being due to the change in weather. But he was fine on Friday. I’m hoping to schedule a vet appointment for him because I lost my last bear due from impaction and I don’t want to lose him too.
Sincerely, A Concerned Beardie Momma
