As I type this, I am absolutely devastated. My beloved male bearded dragon appears to have gone missing on my estate after I left him out in the garden. Every day it's sunny, I just let him out for several hours and he'll usually just rest under a bush. When I went outside today however, I noticed he'd taken a poop right near the gate leading out to the front garden. Both sides of this gate have gaps that are big enough for him to walk under, so now I believe he's wandered off to some different part of the estate.
I've searched bush for bush with absolutely no sign of him at all, even in the back garden which I doubt he could of gone back to since there is some steps to the lawn that are too high for him to climb onto. He is also a bad climber as one of his hands is stumpy and missing claws. I have feared among many things, that a cat or a bird may have got him, or if he'll die overnight. I don't live in the warmest place unfortunately. I live on a Northern England residential estate which has an approximately 10-15°C temperature at night during this time of year. Someone told me that he may come out of his hiding spot and into an open spot in order to warm his blood up.
Still, I have been nothing but upset and horrified about this, and feel like a neglectful owner for not checking on him earlier when I could have done. Even then, I want you people to just give me some sort of idea as to what could have or will happen to him, good news or bad news. Thanks.
