[Twobeardieguy]

Hello and welcome!!!!!! I also agree pictures!!!! As for the relocation stress give it time a few days your baby should come around!! You can try to put a shirt that you just wore in the cage that way your baby will pick up you scent. Although I never had any luck with that its worth a shot!! Try holding him and spending some time with him.. Just my 2cents...

Hello & Welcome to BD.org!
And......
Congratulations!


I too look forward in seeing pic's. :wink:

A beardie goes thru relocation stress when you make any changes to it's environment...let alone a new home. This normally lasts days to 2 weeks in some cases. During this time a beardies appetite may not be so great...might not even poop for a couple of days. Once your new beardie becomes comfortable in his/her new home you will have a little eating machine on your hands an then your beardie will begin to trust you. :wink: Heck maybe I should ask if you got a baby, juvie, or adult beardie?

Thanks! and Barbara He/she is a Juvie, May i ask When will he start to grow?

 

[fresnowitte]

He is probably growing as we speak :lol: being he is a juvie. Beardies do most of their growing during the first year. They grow up fast! Take a measurement now and then take one in a couple of weeks you will probably be amazed. If you have a scale take his weight too record the measurements so you have something to refer to when you do it again.

How long is he now from tip of nose to tip of tail?

 

[ReptileFan]

He/She is currently 6.5 inchs and i got Him/Her exactly 1 week ago, I will do my best to Get some pics up!

edit* actually about 7 inchs She/He was Curled up a lil

He's a real cutie. He does have a little belly already. 8) What brand & type of UVB are you using? Be sure to keep him well hydrated as babies can get dehydrated very quickly. What are the tank temps and what type of thermometer are you using?
