Hello! i'm new to the forum and i recently got a baby beardie, I have had him for about a week now but he seems to be shy/nervous. He will eat about 10 dubias a day and i know he should be eating way more then that but, also wont touch his greens. is there anything i can do to make my little guy more relaxed and how long should it take for him to open up?
Is he shy?

It sounds like he's eating well which is good. Don't worry too much about the greens. Keep offering them but it's common for the young ones to prefer bugs because they need the protein to support quick growth. It may take a while for him to relax and get used to handling. Try picking up some black soldier fly larvae and offering those by hand to build some trust. Keep in mind you are much bigger than he is and combined with a new environment he may be skittish for a while which is OK.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
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!
