Just got another new baby Bearded dragon and he hasn’t shown any interest in eating anything! It’s been 14 days and he sits under the basking light with his eyes closed most of the time! He was active and all over the cage where I got him and as soon as I got him the next day he went through a full body shed!
He still is shedding on his feet and tail looks like it’s next!
Iv been trying to give him some repta boost and he takes a little bit of it but it still isn’t helping him to eat!
Could it be relocation stress and shedding on top of that!? Help I need a answer?
All my lights and temps are on point and using repti carpet for substrate! Haven’t seen him poop in a couple days either!
It could be relocation stress however to make sure your temps and lighting are fine can you send me a picture of the enclosure along with what the temps are, what your using to monitor them and your uvb bulb. And what are you feeding him?
They have loose skin so they can pancake out to bask and puff out in defense so the skin itself isn't a great indicator due to it being so variable. A better measure of weight/health is to use a kitchen scale and just keep a log of weight (in g) so you can watch the trends over time (daily fluctuations are normal).
