Hey everyone, I'm new to bd.org, and i decided to read through the posts before i asked these questions, so that way i wouldn't be annoying anyone if the answers were already out there. but, i couldn't find my answers, so here it goes.
1] Chester won't poop. I've had him from about 2 months, and he pooped great when i first got him, but these past two weeks he hasn't been pooping unless i put him in a bath [normally, i'd give him a bath once a week. he hates the damn bath. haha]. it seems that the warm water really helps him, because he goes within minutes of being in the water. but, i'd really like to know anyone thinks that there is something wrong with him because he used to poop with out assistance. and if there is something wrong, what can i do to fix it? none of the settings in his tank have changed, it is the right temperature and everything.
which brings me to another question.
2] when i first got him, he would sit under his heat lamp allllll day long. but now, he seems to shy away from it and just chills at the bottom of his tank in his bedding under all of the logs and such, but still under the heat. he especially does this at night, but on some nights, he goes to the OPPOSITE side of his tank, the farthest he can possibly get away from his heat lamp. could his tank be too hot? or should i rearrange his tank so he can't hide anymore? or could his tank just be too big, and he's scared of it all?
i know quite a bit about beardies, but these two things are puzzling me, and they almost have me worried something is wrong with him all of a sudden. :/ any and all answers would be great! like i said, i know a bit more than your average owner, but not everything. so even if you think i might know it, i might not, even if it's common sense. i just wanna make sure my baby is ok!!
thanks. :]
