Hello!
I’ve been concerned about my 1 year old bearded dragon over the last few days. He has been hiding more frequently than he used to. I started noticing the behavior late last month up through now. At first, I didn’t think anything of it, knowing that as an adult, bearded dragons tend to eat less than they did as juveniles. He gets crickets twice a week (about 15-20 each feeding period). I know he still deficates, but not as frequently anymore. I’ve noticed that he eats his veggies but not so much the lettuce. Along with it. I’ve lowered his reptile calcium to 2-3 times a week, so I worry that it could be a calcium deficiency. Because of this change, I assumed it was possibly too hot for his basking area, so I lowered the basking temperature to see if it would work. If it continues, I’m worried that I will have to take him to the vet. I do have enough funds saved for a check-up so I’m more than willing to take him if I have to.
(This is an older photo, his cage is clean I promise haha. He’s a poser)
