I am a fairly new Beardie owner. My beardie is about six months old. He had outgrown his cage so last Friday, I got him a new one. Ever since I put him in it, he has acted very different. I put crushed walnuts in as a substrate (apparently a bad idea), the bag recommended it for Beardies and I couldn't find any liners for that size cage. He is eating fine, however, he has only pooped twice since last Friday. He is very lathargic and keeps his eyes closed most of the time, he is not basking either. I found him this morning in the bottom corner of the cage and I thought he was dead but once he got warmed up he moved around a little bit and ate pretty good this morning. I just don't know what to do. I am not sure if I should take him to a vet or not. I am going to change that substrate today as soon as I get home but can someone tell me what is the best thing to use? Also, do you think he already has damaged his digestive tract with that stupid stuff and what can I do? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
