Hello, i am a fairly new beardie owner and i have a ~6 month old beardie who has been completely healthy up until this strange behavior he has been exhibiting the last day of two.
his basking spot is a stack of rocks and there is a small spot underneath that he is just small enough to wedge into. he usually doesn’t go in this spot unless to sleep, but today and most of yesterday he has been in it all day. the only way i can coax him out for small periods of time is by showing him the cricket keeper which he associates with getting fed. after about 20 minutes though he will go back into the spot and stay there. i’m growing worried because this is very unusual behavior for him- and i don’t think he’s getting any light while he’s in there.
when i coaxed him out, he still ate dubia roaches with vigor. he chased after them and ate them excitedly like usual
his temps are 105 for his basking and around 80 for his cool side
i attempted to give him water but he would only lick up a droplet or two and didn’t seem interested
can anyone please help me identify this strange behavior and if it’s something to be worried about? i may be panicking for no reason as i’m just a new beardie owner
