Hi Ive had my beardie for a bit over a year now and he has been more then healthy. He would eat appropriately and eat his greens with no problem. However back in September I recently moved to a new apartment and he stopped eating his greens. He would however still eat his bugs, be active, alert and aside from lounging in his hideaway on occasion he seemed normal. However he wouldn't go to the bathroom except in the the bathtub.
This aside his bowl movements look normal and solid, so no issues there, but the real issue is that recently every time I've picked him up he has sucked in air, it sounds like a hiss but it's not since his mouth is closed and he isn't showing any signs of aggression.
I just got finished giving a bath tonight and he went to the bathroom, and the weird raspy breath, almost wheeze was much more frequent after the bath and this time when he did it he puffed out his beard numerous times.
I worry he isn't getting any water due to the lack of eating veggies and he never drinks water when I drip it on his nose. Other then what's mentioned he still is interactive and alert and comes out to bask during the day. Is there anything that might be wrong with him or do I just have an off beard. He always has been a bit odd in personality.
His basking temp is 90-95 and his cool side is 70-80. I live in California in NorCal so there is no humidity issues here. He eats, horn worms, super worms, crickets, reptiworms and phoenix worms, a variety depending on what I can afford for the week.
Please give me advice or your opinion on what might be wrong.
