I don't know whether to put this in Health or Behavior. 
My beardie, Eli, has not been himself since I moved him to a larger enclosure back in December. Up until that point, he was eating really well, and seemed content. Now he's not eating near as much, some days goes without entirely. He'll usually happily eat a superworm, but I don't want to only feed those. He'll also usually take the occasional blueberry. He does not drink water from a dish or the bath, but I have gotten him to where he'll take some if I drip it on his nose and mix a small amount of bee pollen in. I offer dubia roaches, bsfl, greens (collard or mustard), butternut squash, recently tried green beans.
He's now in a 4x2x2 Zen Habitat enclosure. His basking spot (a hammock) is between 98-102 depending on where he is on the hammock. I have an Arcadia 14% T5 HO on top of the screen, and he sits about 14-15 inches away from it.
He's not what I would call lethargic. He seems pretty lazy, mostly lounging in his hammock, but he will come down to poo, or to stomp around the cage a bit. I also let him out about every other day for about 30 minutes at a time where he gets to roam around a beardie-proof part of the house.
He is about a year old. I thought it might be a case of relocation stress back in December turning into a hormonal teenager, but I just don't know! Thoughts?
*I forgot to mention, he is not losing weight. Visually, he looks fine.
