Hi everyone,
I have a question about a peculiar behavior my baby dragon is displaying. It is 4 weeks old now, and in a 55g tank. The temps are fine. I feed it crickets till it stops eating them. I also leave a salad of greens in the tank. Basically I've done hours and hours of research on the care of beardies and I know what I'm doing.
It has been spending a lot of time hiding under rocks in the tank, and hanging out on the cool side. It does this until It appears to no longer be breathing and when I pick it up it is really cold. I will then hold it under the heating light until it's warm, then it will start squirming again and acting completely normal.
Is it trying to commit suicide or something?! Does it have a death wish? Please help!
