I've had my beardie for a month now and my 2-year-old cat shelly keeps on STALKING him. Like jumping on top of the tank and stalking him. And I've been closing my room door but she keeps on breaking in. Any tips to stop this?

An automated air sprayer for the top of the tank, motion activated. You can add double sided tape which cats hate to touch on top of the enclosure.

If you have trouble shutting the door put an alarm on the door so you know it's open. Like this door alarm .

I think with cats you either have a cat who doesn't care about the beardie or the cat does care - for hunting them. You don't get to choose your cat. Your cat cannot unlearn hunting instincts. You need to protect your beardie and keep a separation between them at all times.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
