Hi All! I have had my Beardie, "Petri" for about two months, so I would estimate that he is 3 months old now. He is about 10-11" long head to tip of tail. In the past few weeks he has been "putting himself to bed". He crawls into his cave for the night.
Normally, he has been doing this at around 7:30 or 8:00 pm, but these past few days he has been heading to the cave before 6:00 pm! I am not sure why the change. His lights come on when we get up to get the kids ready for school at around 6:30am. When he goes into his cave, we turn his lights out.
Do any of your beardies put themselves to bed? If he is going to bed earlier, should we leave his lights on a bit longer, or follow his lead?
His appetite is good, but activity level seems a bit slowed down. He is shedding....but he seems to be constantly shedding these past few weeks one small body part at a time.
Any experienced advice or thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you!
