I relocated by bearded dragon, Ziggy (~5 months old) into their new/permanent habitat 2 days ago. Their new home is 8 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Overall they seem in good spirit and health. I have never seen Ziggy explore their habitat like this or be so active before so that’s good. They have multiple places to bask at different temps. They have no stress marks. The only thing that is concerning me is their behavior when eating in the morning. Not only is Ziggy eating way less (which I know can be normal when transferring habitats), Ziggy seems to almost zone out and shows no interest in the dubia roaches that I drop on the tile one at a time. He doesn’t even flinch. They do eat more at dinner but are still kind of zoned out.

Below are pics of Ziggy zoned out. Maybe I am just being overly paranoid about their health. Should I be worried or is this just normal and after some time they will be back to themselves once fully acclimated?

I chimed in a bit on your other post, but based on the photos here, Ziggy looks nice and healthy. I think the hiding behavior may be coincidental and I wouldn't be too concerned about that on its own. Just keep track of weight and let them do their thing for now. The larger habitat looks great and I'm sure it will be a hit soon enough.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
