He won't calm down and is running all over the cage, head bobbing and black bearded. he is Six-Months old and he won't eat his food because he is too pre-occupied by his reflection. Will he eventually learn to ignore it?

You should try covering the outside of the viv with paper towels or newspaper. It keeps them from seeing their reflection and makes for a much happier, calmer beardie! :mrgreen:
My Sakura did that for a few days and after reading about covering the walls, I tried it and that made a huge difference.
I had paper towels on the outside of three walls of her viv for maybe a month or two and then took it down. She still saw her reflection but I think she was much more comfortable and secure and it didn't bother her after that.

Hope that helps! :D

Thanks, I have a background covering the back of it but the problem is that he can sill see his reflection in the glass.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
