Hello!
Our beardie has been acting a little off lately, thought some of you might have answers as to why. He's eating and pooping regularly (aside from one watery poop this AM), but for the past week has been very inactive. He tends to stay under his UVB the entire day/night, only coming down to eat. Normally he's very active, glass surfing etc. He's also been rubbing his face against his hides and logs, but isn't showing any other signs of shedding. I thought he might be going into brumination, but would he still have his appetite?
Thanks so much in advance! Setup info below.
