So I am a new baby bearded dragon owner , I have had one in the past but I got him when he was older and it was only for a few months so I’m still new too all this especially with a baby dragon so sorry for the questions in advance .
I got my lil ma’am from PetSmart (I know not the best) I’m not sure how old she (I call it a she not sure the gender yet cause it’s still too young) is but I’ve had her for 7 days now , when I first got her I noticed that she sleeps (eyes closed so I assume that’s what she’s doing) A LOT , in the car ride home, in her tank & when I hold her. She usually sits in her hammock (basking spot) with her eyes closed the most. She even does this thing where she only closes one eye is this normal ? Should I be concerned that she’s having them closed so much ? I’ve also noticed that she stays sleeping in her basking spot for most of the day. She gets a full night sleep I turn all lights off at 10:00pm & turn hers back on at 10:00am. Another thing I’m concerned about is her skin , it has idk how I would put it like it wrinkles up is this normal ? I thought maybe it could mean she was dehydrated so I give her water with a spoon because she never (not that I see) drinks out of the bowl & I also gave her 2 baths this week. My last question is about kale I have been giving lil ma’am this along with things like strawberries, carrots , crickets , and food that came with my kit. Is kale for her to have every day & should I be sprinkling it with calcium everyday? Because I’ve read articles that say yes and some say no . Thank you so much if anyone is able to help .
