Food and Poop

[Jango296]

So i have had my baby beardie for i believe 4 days. Yesterday morning I think he stopped eating his crickets. I don't know why. But i have been told that this is common when they are getting used to their new home. But he was fine with eating for the first 2 days.

I have no idea if i should be worried or not. But another thing was when i took him outside he pooped out pure water. It had a white top type of thing with a little yellow in it but that is what i usually see, besides the yellow. Im guessing that its because i havnt had the UVBulb plugged in for a while but thats because i need to get a fixture, which im getting today

He is moving fine and he is active when i take him out of his cage and stuff but im still afraid. Sometimes he does this weird thing where he looks like he his holding his breathe but then when i Move to get him or something I can see him breathing.

It seems he is just adjusting. As for the holding the breath, it sounds like he's just puffing up. They do that under their basking light to expand their back and absorb more heat and when they're uncomfortable.
Respiratory problems will not manifest like that... Not quite sure how it does; look it up!

Hello,

Were you able to get the light fixture fixed for the UVB?
How is he doing now, still enjoying being out of his tank?
They will breath more deeply when out & running around but should breathe more evenly while basking.

Let us know how he is doing.
