Beardie seems very stressed.

[robert9790]

I just recently (about a week ago) bought a beardie, but for the start he was very shy and i assumed it was his new habitat. Then he got friendly and started eating and not running from me when i tried to feed him with big tweezers. Now his belly has stress marks and i cant seem to figure out why. He doesn't seem to drink much so i dont know if he could be constipated or something. i've tried giving him a warm bath and he just runs out immediately. His basking temp is at 110-115F depending, and its being measured with a IR heat gun. his basking is 85-90F also. I've been feeding him crickets that have been fed a mix of Fluckers food / hydrating gel. He will only ever eat like 5-10 and then wont touch them. I've also been feeding him Superworms as he will actually eat these and have just ordered Phoenix worms to see if he will eat those instead of crickets. Any help will be greatly appreciated as i am also getting stressed, i dont want anything happening to the little guy.
His size is about 5-6 inches, and he is a male. His tank is not wrapped as the wrap is in the mail.
Will take suggestions and/or advice.

Hi. He probably has some relocation stress and that can last a couple of weeks. Also NO superworms until he is 16 inches. They are hard for babies to digest as they are way to big. No feeder bigger than the space between their eyes as babies be come impacted easily.

I see, i bought superworms that were tiny so ithought it would be ok. Thanks for the info.
