A bit concerned for my dragon

Hello I'm a fairly new dragon owner and the way he has been sitting has me a bit concerned. He started this yesterday evening, and has continued sitting like this all day today. He has not done this before. He is still running around like normal during his free-range time. Yesterday he also didn't eat very much, and today even less. I may just be a paranoid new mom, but wanted to see what people here thought. Thanks!

They do assume some odd (to us) positions, he's sitting comfortably (for him) and looks fine.

You might find it beneficial to print off a copy of the following.

My cheatsheet :
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234738&p=1806050#p1806050 , if you work through it methodically I'm sure you'll find some shortcoming in the lighting and setup and husbandry that do with being changed or tweeked,

This comparison of feeder insects :
viewtopic.php?f=76&t=234999&p=1807834#p1807834
best feeders for a hatchling are BSF maggots, blowfly gents, silkworms, crickets, roaches, or locusts.

This is how I fed my current pair of beardies as hatchlings :
We bought the pair at 5 weeks old and Peppa was 13.9g and Toothless was 11.0g.
I started them each off with three meals per day of live insects , 18 small (20 day old) crickets split between for meals 1 & 2 + blowfly gents for meal 3 , and I also offered greens and grated veg and softened repcal juvenile beardie and vetafarm lizard pellets.

At 2 months old Peppa & Toothless were the following
weights 24.6g and 20.9g
and I was giving each 12 med-small (25day old about 1/4 size) cricket & 4 med-small (1 - 1.5 inch long) silkworms split over 3 meals each + some greens & grate veg & softened repcal juvenile beardie & vetafarm lizard pellets .

At 3 months old
weights were 60.6g and 51.1g
and I was giving each 18 med (1/3 size) crickets & 6 medium (1.5 - 2 inch long) silkworms split over 3 meals each + some greens & grate veg & softened repcal juvenile beardie & vetafarm lizard pellets .

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
